The other morning, I was watching this video on Pinterest and was inspired to give it a try using some similar Repeat Impressions stamps. It didn't turn out quite the same, specially since I added a sunrise to mine. The scene just looked too blah without it. I used this same vista image with a water coloring technique last month; it's fun how different the same image can look just by using different coloring techniques! Here is the card from last month, if you missed it:
It really changes the look, too, based on where you place it on the card. In the first card, I placed it more to the center and it brings the image closer, while in the second card, I stamped the image closer to the top of the panel which makes it look farther away. Such a fun way to stretch your stamps!
Back to my card for this challenge, I matted my image panel with a very thin black mat and then onto a piece cut from an old encyclopedia page which was also matted with a very thin black mat before being added to the blue card base. I added two narrow strips of black cardstock at an angle to my image panel to give a bit of interest.

Love it!!! And really enjoyed the comparison from lst month with the watercolor. If I could think of more ways to use one stamp I probably wouldn't have as many stamps. LOL. Great job and love the hint of the sunrise.
Wow!!! It's amazing how using a different technique totally changes up your card! Both cards are absolutely beautiful!!!
Such a stunning card and interesting comparison from last month!
WOW, you achieved two great looks from that wonderful stamp! I love the diagonal ribbons and print background for a great sunrise card! Love the soft watercolored look of the father's day card too! Great job on both!
Both cards are beautiful! I love the artistry, and you really displayed the versatility in the stamp set. Thanks for joining us at The Crafter’s Cafe!

Wow! These are stunning, Heather! Beautiful scenes - wish I were there (heck, I wish I were ANYWHERE!) Thanks for sharing!
Wowza - wonderful cards and great comparison. Both rock!
