And, since I love my stamped scenes, I created a lake and a sunset sky with Distress inks, shunning any embellishments or sentiment, adding just several mats to frame the scene.
I stamped the birds from a Flonzcraft set (Animal Landscapes borders 01) with a pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. With the birds protected by the embossing I applied all my inks and overstamped the grasses, also from a Flonzcraft set (Grass and Meadow borders).
Easy peasy... I'll be back on the 15th for a second inspiration piece and who knows I might find another unused item in my stash...
