Today I am enjoying Jojot's gallery to the hilt. It's like I can't stop looking! I cased this card of Joanne's, keeping the over all layout but changed the direction of the card, using different colors and images:
This is an encouragement card for my friend Phyllis's mom, Herlinda, and is also my first go with Farm Life. I just love the peacefulness of this scene and thought she would enjoy it too, since she raised cattle.
The DP is cuttlebugged, using the woodgrain folder and is stitched onto the black base. The scene is watercolored, and Flower Soft applied to the tree and bushes. I used Liquid Applique for the clouds, and glued bits of straw on the fore ground.
Thanks for looking, and Joanne, thanks for the inspiration!
