A landscape greetings card featuring a river scene with British wildlife. A grey heron is stood amongst reeds in the bottom left corner, a brown otter is swimming in the river near the bottom right. Behind them, a number of yellowy-green lily pads and accompanying pink flowers stick up above the river surface. The background consists of a cloudless blue sky and tall, light green, trees.

I’d been waiting for the right opportunity to use the lovely wildlife stamps from creative stamping 86 in a full scene, and this card, made for someone who enjoys wildlife, seemed perfect.

I added sparkly embossing powder to the water (by lightly swiping the embossing inkpad across the panel) to replicate the way water sparkles in the sun.
