Foot Bridge: Creating a Card with Another Blue Knight Rubber Stamps May 2020 New Release Stamp

Hello my crafty and creative friends!

I am a waterfront lover...
I love the ocean...the shore...lakes...streams...ponds...rivers...
There's a certain serenity and connection to nature that happens to me when I am near the water...so it makes sense that I felt immediately connected to Blue Knight's May New Release Wetlands stamp...as well as the stamp that I am sharing with you today.

Foot Bridge reminds me of the Atlantic Ocean beach, an ocean inlet and connected creek from my island hometown...a place where we used to go crabbing...and clamming...under hot summer sunshine surrounded by salty sea air....and seagulls calling out to one another....and geese and ducks swimming in the saltwater creeks and canals.
Growing up on a small Island...and living on an Island now ...memories of life on and near the ocean are abundant for me.

All of this made me enjoy creating today's card...a lot!

This scene, I think...was plucked right out of my 30 years of life lived on my Island hometown.
It was fun to color...and it was fun to add some stamped details/additions to....and when complete...it turned out exactly as I had hoped it would.

I colored the image with Copic markers...and used PanPastels when creating the cloudy sky with Blue Knight's Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil.

This stamp set comes with an assortment of silhouette images that can be added to the larger beautifully detailed main scene....
Included are: a sailboat in 2 sizes....and a gathering of ducks...in two sizes.

For today's cards...I chose to add the larger sailboat...and larger duck image

After the stamping and coloring were complete, I chose card stock colors for matting.
For the larger mat layer I went with blue...and for the smaller mat layer I chose matte black card stock.
I positioned the matted image piece with fun foam for added dimension.

If you love scene images...and love to color...but shy away from tedious coloring....THIS is the image for you...
This image is a breeze to color...
Pencil coloring...PanPastels and Copics are all great ways to add color to this image.
