Its all in the sentiment - Clarity Stamp Challenge 3

Here is the card I made for the 3rd Clarity Stamp Challenge.  I was delighted to be chosen to be in the top five and this has spurred me on to start my own blog.

I used the landscape stamp with the  boating and lovers minis, swallows, perspective trees, grasses 1, tall reeds, and the sentiment "Loved you yesterday".  The inks are pitch black adirondack with mustard seed and squeezed lemonade distress inks.

I decided to highlight the sentiment by placing it in the middle panel in the centre of the sun.  To make the bottom and top borders I stamped each word  separately.  It was a bit time consuming but i was very pleased with the effect.
