Hi girls. Thank you for calling in to my blog - it's great to have you here. I hope you find something you like. Hopefully you are having a fantastic weekend. I have been out and about a bit the last few days and am really enjoying the new found freedom my portable oxygen concentrator is giving me. I am a bit tired but it's well worth it.
I made this card to enter the By the Cute and Girly June Challenge that had the theme "In the Garden". The card is made by cutting round the outline of an eliptical frame of branches and leaves I printed off a CD Rom. I cut a scalloped mount for the image (Sugar Nellie's "Country Style") out of brown card.The image is coloured using my Copics and the embellishments are Wild Orchid flowers and leaves cut using an MS punch. The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley. I photographed the card on a black background but I think that might have been a mistake - I hope it's not too dark.
I hope you might have a minute to leave me a comment telling me what you think of this creation. Your opinions are always welcome.
