This is a card I made yesterday, the tree is a "Nellies Choice" stamp. This is the first time I have used it. To make the hills, water and sky, I brushed on different colours of ink pads, using brushes. I had a firm piece of plastic which I held on an angle each time I brushed the ink on. The green is the hills, the blue is the water (hold the plastic horizontal, not on an angle) and the sky is the pink and yellow. I used a circle stencil I had made for the sun, making sure I didn't get any yellow in on the 'water'. I lastly added the tree stamp and the words, which are from an SU stamp set. I like how it came out and think I will make some more like this!
Below is..."Audrey," a new addition to the family! I bought the glass at my local Hospice Shop, and knew she was destined to have a "String of Pearls" plant in her!! Eventually the SOP will hang down and look like her hair! Isn't she wild?! I love her!
With it being Summer here, it's the perfect time to re-pot my cactus and succulents, as well as digging out my Spring bulbs, and resting them over Winter. I will re-plant them before Spring. I've been in the garden doing things for the last 2 weeks, and my allergies don't appreciate it:-( My nose is blocked and I sneeze all the time, but I am enjoying my time outside! I have lots of allergies and take Antihistamine every day, and I really ought to be wearing a mask while I am out digging in the garden. Anyway, that's me for today!
I hope you enjoyed your visit - have a SUNSHINE day!
Remember, always be your authentic self and shine bright every single day!
I totally missed this post - but I love that card. What a great scene. And that glass is so cute. You're right - it will look splendid with the SOP hair.
