I have no idea why it has been so hard for me to be 'creative' lately? :( I missed last weeks house mouse challenge and was NOT going to miss this weeks! I thought and thought of how to go 'natural' but nothing came to mind. I went flipping through my images I got in swaps / RAKS and found these sweet lil guys:). I found some leaves in the yard while the kids were painting, cutting, gluing and messing on the deck today. I thought .. why not! And painted my own bg paper by painting the leaves and pressing them to my paper. I think it turned out ok. I hope you are all having a great weekend.
I also got a terrific RAK from my friend Carol today. We were partners in a card kit swap so part of this is from the swap .. but so beautiful I had to share that too!!! I love you Carol! Thanks so much!!! I have been playing around with my very first Copic tonight and LOVE it! I will have to eventually get more! So pretty!!! and the stickles are so vibrant and gorgeous! Such a beautiful red! Thank you Dot ;) I love it all .. but I love you best!!!

ReplyDeleteHeather, your card is gorgeous!! Doesn't look to me like you had any difficulty being creative when making this beauty. I love the way you used painted and pressed leaves on your background, and you have colored your image flawlessly!!! I think your card is better than "ok"; it is FABULOUS!!!
