Hallo,Time for another Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop!!!! This time we are using an awesome photo for inspiration.
The photo reminds me of Italy - especially down along the southern coast, and I love the colors too.
I get to be first on the hop tonight but if you want to check out the entire list or the hop announcement go here - http://www.stamptv.ning.com/
I used the boat from the 'Lazy Days of Summer ' set and the mountain from the 'Happy Camper' set.
I colored the scene with copics and prismacolor pencils and cut out the main scene as well as an additional boat.
Every time I think of Italy, I think of all the traveling that we did while we were stationed in Germany and that I would love to go back and spend more time in Italy, and France, and England, and OK well everywhere :).....that is how I decided on the background paper :)
While you are out and about in blogland make sure to leave commnets along the hop because we are drawing names on Tuesday am the 14th for a HUGE grab bag of Gina K stamps for one lucky commenter :)
Next up on the hop is the very talented Sharri - http://istamp4u.blogspot.com/2012/02/css-inspiration-hop.html I know she has something awesome to show you!!!
All for tonight - Take CareTera

Beautiful card, Tera!! Love it that the picture made you think of southern Italy, because that's what it made me think of as well! (Or southern coast of France). You did a great job of capturing the feel of that with the boat and the mountains.
