This first card is from the Hobby Art Countryside stamps. I have used them before, but not really gone into the masking bit too far. This one is not quite how I intended it to be, but changing your mind when you are halfway through is not helpful. I had originally intended it to be done in sepia, so I had stamped on watercolour card. Then I thought I would brayer the background and do a resist to get the clouds. Mistake!! All I got was the texture of the card showing through. A change of tack was needed, so I then used the make up sponges to work the ink into the"holes" in the card, and do the rest of the background colouring. The colouring of the various elements was done with my meagre collection of Promarkers.
The second card has now moved to the next post, as Mr Linky would not let me enter two cards from the same post.
This card is intended for the
Craft a Scene Challenge for this month. I really enjoy playing around to create the scenes as I want them, and once I have finished this month's cards, a lot more playing will follow.

Hi Maggie, lovely cards! I have the tuscany set and really enjoy using them - had some designs published in Making Cards last Sept using these, and was really chuffed with how they turned out. Even better, the mag was on the doormat waiting for me the day I got back from a holiday where I visited....... tuscany!! And it looks JUST like that in real life - wish i was there now [sigh]

Oh Maggie, they are both lovely! It's funny ya know...had you not said anything, no one would have noticed you had to work a little harder on the first creation! It turned out wonderful, they both did. I don't think I would touch a "scene" if ya paid me. I'm so impressed. Scenes scare me! Happy WOYWW!
