Ahhhh is not what I am feeling at this moment. A BIG BLACK jumping type spider is staring right at me!!!!! I'll be back in a minute........."squish!....."......Whew...much better now. Anyway, when I made this card, it so relaxed me. It just has a peaceful feel to it don't you think?!
I am always cutting pictures and things out of magazines and what nots that I am inspired by. Today, I got inspired by this metal art of trees. Thus my card.
Pretty simple, I made a bg using alcohol inks and gold. Then stamped my trees first with moonlight white, then with timber brown moving the image slightly to the left before stamping.
I colored in the rocks and water with my limited supply of copic markers, adding white highlights with my signo pen. Layered my image panel with black, put it on a white card sponged with ginger. Added the ribbon treatment using the black and white striped thing I just got from my sister!
Well, hope this little scene relaxes you as much as it does me.........TFL :0)
