Happy October lovelies!
WOW! It’s hard to believe summer is over.
just. like. that.
And what a summer of adventure I had!
I was so blessed to enjoy the great outdoors in my area almost every weekend!
One of my big loves is hiking – I can’t get enough of those mountain views!
SOOOO…this months cards have been inspired by my love of being outdoors…
My favorite hike to date: Gwillim Lakes, Valhalla Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada – my backdoor – this place has my heart!
For this card I wanted to use up this cute little die cut…I usually go straight for stamped images but sometimes in our stash we have these little goodies to use up. Unity has the BEST sentiments – perfect to pair with dies and pattern papers etc.
This card is my personal favorite of this month’s bunch…that mountain scene captures all the hiking beauty I’ve experienced so perfectly! This card also challenged me with its unusual color combo…. plus I watercolored with my distress inks – a technique I have only started to dabble with.
BUT I love how it turned out.
This little cabin stamp is one of my faves….so versatile and cute and whimsy…perfect for ALL things outdoors.
This sweet little deer was already colored up and sitting on my desk waiting to be used…definitely part of the great outdoors here in BC – deer are a pretty common site around here.
Well there you have it – my outdoor inspired cards!
I hope you feel inspired to take something you love (hobbies included) and use them to get creating!
Happy adventures everyone!
