Fall Leaf Line

One of my fondest memories of growing up was the clothes line behind our house.  My dad hooked it up to pulleys and the line ran from the back porch to a post further out in the back yard.  I loved hanging the laundry, and rolling it out and in.  I especially enjoyed smelling the clean, crisp clothes when we picked them.

When I saw this IMPRESSION-OBSESSION stamp, I just had to have it!

 STAMPS:  Impression-Obsession  Nature Walk
               Impression-Obsession LEAF SET (Happy Fall verse)

I stamped the Nature Walk  stamp with VersaFine Clair Nocture ink onto cream card stock, then water colored it using distress inks in fall colors.  When dry, I fussy cut along the bottom.  On the card front, I used a make up brush to softly apply distress ink in rusty hinge.  I also distressed a scrap with the same color, which I stamped the verse onto.

I foam-mounted the fussy-cut leaf-line to the top of the card, the verse to the bottom, then spritzed it all with more distress ink.  Oh...I also wrapped string (which I had dyed with ink) around the bottom verse panel to mimic the line for the hanging leaves.  Some dark beige pearls finish the card.

What is one of your fondest childhood memories?  I would love to read about it...be sure to mention it in a comment below.
