Garden bench

A couple of Spring-y cards for today, just for fun! I was showing one of my friends pictures the other day of fields of wild daffodils, and she was in awe - the breaking out of Spring is one of my favorite memories of the area of Missouri where we lived for 6 years. Daffodils, dogwoods, redbuds... anyway, here's a garden bench, and a pot full of daffodils to enjoy. And a bunny! This is Impression Obsession's Wire Garden Bench. My first card was submitted for publication, but wasn't chosen - the image is watercolored using reinkers.

This second card was made for CHA. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, and paper-pieced the pillow with a scrap of the background paper. I used Cover-a-Card stamps to create my own background paper (Reverse Damask, Canvas and Houndstooth). Happy Spring!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  7. Who can even guess why they pick some and not others. I haven't see a card by you yet that shouldn't be published, if not framed! Both of these are lovely!!
