Hello, Stamping Friends. Hope this Monday morning finds you all doing well and off to a great start of the new week. This will be a busy week at my house. Seems like they all are these days.
I am going to share some cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Peaceful Retreat stamp set. This stamp makes a fairly quick card. I wanted to go with a different look so I made my sky darker on both cards. I basically reversed the sky colors on them and colored the mountains different colors. It was hard getting the picture of the cards to photograph with the darker sky. I think the darker sky looks better in real life.
For the first card, I stamped my Peaceful Retreat image and colored it with Copic Markers The sky was made using pan pastels. I like using my pan pastels when making a sky. They can look really colorful and it is a quick process.
The second card was made just like the first one with the exception of the bear. I thought he was a great addition to the Peaceful Retreat image. The bear is from the Momma Bear and Friends stamp set.
Watch my blog, I am going to be having a stamp giveaway soon. I will post the prize and the details soon.
Thank you, for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week.

Just a wonderful idea to use this stamp with the darkening sky (like after the sun sets) - gives a very calming effect - except if there really WAS a bear wandering by!! Love your coloring!!
