Here's Looking at You....


Well, today we had a bit of a breather, with some much needed rain for the gardens and a wee bit cooler for me! Although I like the summer sunshine, the heat and humidity really don't like me.

This pretty image from Karen's Doodles was available as a freebie, and I am using it on this card for one of her current challenges Keep It Clean and Simple.

I chose to work with black and white, creating my own background paper using a stamp I purchased a number or years back. After painting the image, I cut around the upper portions and attached everything with foam tape, giving it extra dimension. A little black ribbon and a couple of leaves finished the project.

Other challenges entered:
..A Crafty Little Place - Sketch Challenge #46

....Polka Doodles - #27 Summer Theme

  18. Joyce this is so adorable! I love Karen's images, and especially how you've broken the plane of the rectangle element by having kitty's tail go past. Wonderful colors for this pair! Thank you so much for joining us this week with our sketch challenge at ACLP!
