Country Summer Sunsets

Hallo,
Well this is my last Tuesday for Flourishes Guest FTTC Designer :( pout... but I have had a blast playing along with the pro's this month.
Our challenge this week is for 'Country Cool' to create something inspired by country living. Check out the challenge here - www.flourishes.org/blog/
I used seven (7) Flourishes set to make up this picture frame for todays challenge and a technique from Technique Junkies called layered masking.
I grew up on the farm and all of these scenes remind me of the 'good ol days'.
I used to go fishing now and then with my Dad and I would often ride my horse down to the 'crick' (thats creek for you non-country types :) and sit under the trees reading . We often played in the sprinklers in the evening and spent lots of time creating our 4-H float for our small town parade every year.

I said I used 7 different sets for this frame so here is the list (I think this may be a record for me to use all on one project :)

Gerber Daisies, Kids Play, Moments in Time, Sweet Days of Summer, Patriotism on Parade, Wild for Watermelon and Damask background.
For the layered masking I used Distress and Adirondak inks and embossed the images and phrases in black. And I used some bronze viva decor pen in the corners.

I had a blast making this up - I have one with a Christmas theme in mind (matter of fact saturdays post was a trial run for that idea...).

All for this am - hoping to get some serious craft time in today :)

Take Care
