If a sunny day has you longing for a walk in the woods, the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Great Escape Collection is for you!

The collection is loaded with vintage images of flora and fungi straight out of your favorite field guide!   I love the realistic images that are a feast for the eyes.

The prints include plaids, stripes, topographical prints, geographical maps and watercolor wash botanical prints.

The colors are a sumptuous mix of mint, greens, rusty earth tones, and a pop of aqua.

This collection has all the goodies you expect from Simple Stories like Chipboard, bits and pieces die cut images, stickers, washi and decorative brads.  Everything is perfectly color coordinated so you know it’s all going to match perfectly.

My cards were made with the 6x8” paper pad that is ideal for card makers.   I layered the papers over solid cardstock prints from the basics pack.  It’s perfect for adding layers and breaking up prints.

I love the inspiration sentiments that encourage me to make the most of every day, to enjoy the simple things, and discover the wonder and beauty of nature!

Whenever I go for a hike I can’t resist stopping at every treasure I find – an animal track, a mushroom or lichen, or pretty flower or butterfly, or just the sound of a woodpecker knocking on a tree.

These cards make perfect notes for the nature lover’s in my life! I think the images are just gorgeous and I know they will too!
