One of my work colleagues has just bought a plot of land to build a house in Cornwall. I promised her if she got her plot I would make her a card.
I only had an hour to spare and unfortunately I think this shows. I used Distress Inks and Adirondack pigments for the background and every sort of inks you can think of for the trees and plants. The stamps are Arboretum and Wild Meadow from Elusive Images, a Nigella seed pod from Lavinia Stamps, a fern from Beeswax and the flight of birds from Clarity Stamps. The sentiment is computer generated.
I am not entirely satisifed with the end result, but then I rarely am!
Thanks for popping by

Well, I think it's beautiful and I'm sure your colleague will think so too. I love the stamps you have used. They're amongst my favourites.

Very Autumnal and I'm sure you friend will love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very clever idea for the sentiment Elaine. I love the colours that you have used, and the layout is lovely. Don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure your friend loved the card. I always treasure them, Judith xx
ReplyDeletelike the others have said...Im sure your friend will love it.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled if I made a card like that in any amount of time....think you might be being over critical.
