Call of the Loon

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had a lovely hot, sunny few days but today the clouds have moved in & it is trying hard to rain. Lastnight we sat around a campfire with some friends & listened to the beautiful call of the loons on the water. We are so lucky to live here where our yard runs down to the lake. We see all types of wildlife....including the odd bear! Anyway, this card just sort of fit with the experience. The loon image is a freebie from Outlawz & the background is stamped with Stampscape images (Lakeside Reflections & Cloud Crescent Moon) I colored the images with prismacolor pencils & the CS is Bazzill. I plan to enter this card in the following challenges:
Poodles Parlour.....for men
Here Come the Boys.....anything goes
That Craft Place.....trees & nature
The Squirrel & the Fox.....summer (the call of the loon is a sure sign of summer here!)
Di's Digis Designs.....male inspired

  7. This is such a great guy card Renee. Beautiful job on the image. :-) It would be so cool to see a bear---I think. LOL Hubby and I got to see a mother and cub in Yellowstone. We so love looking at wildlife. Sounds like you have the perfect viewing spot. :-) Hugs!
