Here’s a couple more cards that use 2 of my digital images for the Nestie Label 3. I designed these images with the frames so you can hand cut them, if you don’t have the nesties, and without the frames, to make using the nestie easier to do. The phrases are part of the image. Designed to fit inside the nestie die.

Here are Summer and Fall:

Digital images used: Child of Summer

For this one, I die cut the inside again, but this time embossed the frame with a CB folder, then  pop dotted  it on the outside, so the water and child are recessed.

Stamp sets used: Fall Flowers,   Fall Quotes Coloring: Prismacolor Markers

I really like the way the warm yellows are added to the edge of the stark white background, and match beautifully the background dp.  Really wonderful shading on the petals too!

The quote is from the Fall Quotes sets, and is part of a poem I adapted by Helen Hunt Jackson:

The golden-rod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards  With fruit are bending down.

The Harvest is so plenty, The Sun is glowing warm. Thinking of You sweetly, On this gentle Autumn Morn.
