Welcome to day three of Flourishes release with one of our very first scenery stamp set. I love creating a scene! Especially when it is a single stamp and color image.
Today I have two views of the same card. In this first picture I had stamped the Florence scene on watercolor paper note card with versa fine onyx ink. I like this pigment ink when I am going to use water on my paper. In real life the image on my card looked very "flat" when viewed face on, although, like some finished cards, they look better in pictures than they do IRL. Be that as it may, I cut out the center of the stamped image then backed it with Early Espresso card stock, then popped that panel up in the same spot it was cut from.
Looking at the two cards here I am not sure which I like the best. I am aware that my perception of the design could all be an illusion because of the angle of the photo and the difference in backdrop colors. In any case the top card looks just as good as the one below.
No matter the outcome, "Flavor Of Florence" is a fun set to work with. Just take a look at what the team has designed to see just how much fun you could have "creating a scene"!

You have truly captured the Tuscany countryside.
Beautiful and great spotlight card, wonderful job on lining all that up.
Beautiful Sharon! Love the way you highlighted and popped part of the image.
Sharon,
Looks stunning on the watercolor paper and the way you added the extra layer with the center of the image is brilliant!
both card look great, love the simple landscape and the popped up one is very cool too!
Thank you for showing us two versions of the card, it sure helps give ideas and helps us see the versatility of the stamp. Both came out lovely.
WOW SHARON!!!!!!!!! I LIKE them BOTH! It IS AMAZING though, how just a little change can change the card SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!:)
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the watercolor with this!!!!!!!!!! :) SUPER JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Missed your card yesterday!)
Very pretty....lots of gorgeous coloring there!!
sweet and beautiful
Love this popped up on the Espresso panel! Why don't I think of these techniques?!
What a lovely card.
Both cards are beautiful, but I love the second one best!!
I like both of the designs but the second is my fav. Since the tiny border just defines the image.
Great job, yours showing flooded the mind with all kinds of things to do with the stamp...labels for wine or herb oils came to mind first.Thanks for the share.
Both great cards Sharon, but I love how the inset looks with this image too. I really sets it off.
I love how you pulled the image out and framed it! It just pops off the page now...and it's gorgeous!
This looks marvelous! I like how you have most of the scene matted in black and the rest of the scene carries over onto your card base. Very cool!
Two beauties Sharon! Love your colouring on both cards! Gorgeous!
Lovely cards!!
Both cards are perfect!
I really like the way this was matted with the image half off the panel. Great coloring and looks inviting.
Fun design, Sharon. I like how the scene continues outside the focal square.
