I hate this card, it looks like a cheap souvinir you would buy in Surfers Paradise lol...But it's for a challenge on Late Night Stampers...a patriotic card...and since I have no patriotic stamps I had to think outside of the box. I drew a rough map of Australia and cut it out and used the negative space to brayer the background with Marina Mist for the sky and Cajun Craze for the red soil. I then stamped the trees from Lovely as a Tree in staz on...this card has already found a new home..one of my regular class ladies snagged it out of the bin and is sending it overseas...whew! lol
Bev, I love your card. I have never seen anything like it. You do a wonderful job inside or outside the box! Thanks for sharing this great card.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Like a lot the cut out of Australia, the colors and the sketch. TFS!

ReplyDeleteYou should be so hard on yourself.
Sorry Bev I meant Shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm from the US and I think that your card is absolutely adorable. I'm glad it was saved from the garbage can.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning Bev! Why on earth would you want to bin it?!!
ReplyDeleteBev, I think you have done an amazing job with this card. You certainly have captured the feel of the Aussie outback. Surprisingly my husband opened your card (something he never does) and he was blown away, asking me all kinds of questions as to how you would have made it. Really stunning.
