Hi Everyone, I'm still in can't be bothered mode, with a few family things going on, however, as a follower of Beccy, I saw her post and had to have the images. They are fun and actually had me enthusiastic to get going, whew! mojo may still be there!
Anyhow, I wanted something pretty and came across a scrapbook Quick Page in my files, I thought it would do nicely. I added them to my digital cutting machine print and cut out the QP and the cow and the sentiment included, I had placed it onto rectangles to match the colours. I coloured the cow in DI's and added a double layer of dimensionals to make it 3D and decided to arrange a few floral dies in amongst the printed flowers, then added drops to the centres. I also placed some flower dies onto the sentiment. A little glaze to finish on the horns nose and eyes.
I hope you all have more mojo than me and after seeing your beautiful work I know you have. Now this post and the card is finished, I am going to look through my stamps and see if I can get something else done, SiL is waiting for a few birthday cards, so if that's not incentive what is ay? AND there is blue skies with fluffy white clouds instead of the awful wind and rain the last couple of days.

You know what I'm like about the garden, well a couple of photos, taken a couple of days ago.
A lovely show of Aquilegias and our very old clematis, it is an original plant in the garden and we have been here 27 years. Hubby has tried quite a few times to take cuttings, but they just don't grow. (That's him in red, seeing to the potatoes in the pots)
No! this is not a marquee for the Gnomes or Fairies in the garden, it's stopping the carrot fly and white butterflies from laying their eggs, in the carrots and cabbages.
Still wet and very cold here!!!Great card and sentiment love the fabulous image -I founf a few Aquilegias broken down this morning so brought them in,hope your family things get sorted soon

That card is simply hilarious and I love that image! LOL What a cute and fun card - you just can't stop smiling as soon as you see it :) Your clematis is gorgeous! I once planted it behind our mailbox and as soon as it started thriving my hubby accidentally mowed it down. sigh......
ReplyDeleteAnother fun design, Faith! The cow is so sweet. Thanks for sharing more photos of your lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteHi Faith, I really love your card, its a great image.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks beautiful, I think we are all suffering from the awful summer weather so far, fingers crossed for a flaming June. Take care, happy crafting. Xx
Great card Faith and a fabulous image, really made me smile. Back home now, had a lovely holiday with nice weather until the last day when it was windy and quite cool with drizzle xx
ReplyDeleteLoving your card, Faith, with the cow and all the flowers, yes keep the vegetables protected, they are for your dinner, not the insects!

ReplyDeleteYour card is simply hilarious, great job. Love the garden pictures, great idea about covering the cabbage and carrots, I am not growing mine in a zip up green house cover. Lovely rhododendron that is blooming.

Your garden is beautiful Faith, so lush and green and with pops of colour everywhere! I can imagine the butterflies and hum of bees in summertime.
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous too, you've done a wonderful job adding all those little embellishments, and I love the blue border. Sorry to hear your mojo hasn't been cooperating, hopefully the nicer weather will have you back to full speed soon.
Cheers,
Beccy
Your card cracks me up. I enjoy looking at garden photos. Especially from different areas than where I live. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteLOL love your card and image thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Faith! Hope your family doings are the good kind. Beccy's images are always cool, so is your card. Love the little flowers adorning it, they are hard work for me. So I have them, but don't use them but rarely. That is one magnificent clemantis! Wow. I have an airplane plant bought in 1981 that we thought for sure our February storm killed and I was a bit depressed over it because we should have brought it into the garage but it's in a heavy patio pot. Lo and behold, she came back from the dead and even has a few babies now. Ain't Life grand? xoxo
