Beacon Village

My friend Noela recently moved to the historic and very charming town of Beacon, NY and I thought an equally charming card was in order for her . . .

The adorable houses have simple shapes so it was easy to cut out masks in order to stamp the trees “behind” the buildings.  I think the grassy background is a little too high, so the next time I use this image, I’ll bring it down a notch.  The bird was an afterthought and I believe he adds just the right touch . . .
