Hand Painted Christmas Card For Rudolph Days

Today I tried something quite new.

I made a one layer card,

painted with water colours and ink pencils.

The sentiment is a Norwegian Christmas greeting.

Unfortunately was the paper still wet

as I wrote the letters.

The "G" is trembling ;)

Home, Sweet Home

When I use digital images on my cards,
I often choose pre coloured ones.

But as I saw this stool on one of Beccy's

"Welcome home" set,

I thought of my mother's yellow stool

where she sat as she was sowing and planting.

And while she was doing that during the spring,

I wanted to use light spring colours on my picture.
I have so good memories of my dear parents,
doing their garden so well.

For this card I used:
White double card A6,
White card stock.
Patterned Paper: Dovercraft "Garden Party".
Image: Beccy's "Welcome home".
Dies: Nellie's Multiframe and Papirdesign.
Brown pen around the image and for the faux stitches.
Brown distress ink.
Silver half pearls.
Text written on computer.
Tool: Cuttlebug.
