Hi everybody!
Today started off cold and misty, but the sun soon came through and it was warm and sunny again. It should stay nice for the next few days, and then we will be getting strong winds bringing us fresh air from the North Pole, good that my warm coat and boots have not been put away!
The card is another of my DT pieces for Gecko Galz. I used an image from the Bookmarks 2 collage sheet, and background paper from the Solarium pack, 'sunlight', which was also used to make the stopper. I used some dark green, embossed card for matting the images. The easel card has been made from a 6x6" card blank. I kept the embellishments simple - a small bow and some green gem stones.
I enjoyed another walk through the sculpture park and along the Rhine. Although the mist had cleared, there was still a remnant hanging over the river and trying to hide the other side. A farmer was driving around in his little tractor down at the Rhine, and from the embankment it looked almost like a toy.
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I see what you mean about the tractor, it does look like a toy.
ReplyDeleteI like your card, the image beautifully presented as always, and the little bow really finishes it off.
That's a special photo of the building through the trees, it' s lovely with the tracing of mist.

ReplyDeleteLove today's photographs with a definite hint of a nice Spring--didn't like the idea of the very cold North weather being on the way though :( Frosty here again this morning but it does mean sun later if the last few days are a guide.
Have a wonderful day

Beautiful card!!!Love your pictures,Beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pictures of the magnolias, my favorite trees. We have to wait another month at least before we can see them bloom, here in Illinois. Your card is as always very elegant. Happy spring, dear!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, your card is simply gorgeous and your walking pics with those blooms are so springtime inspiring. I hope ours bloom soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs
That's a LOVELY card - and those photos are SO pretty! I ADORE magnolias...they were a favourite for my grandmother who grew them in her garden. Those little blue flowers are so pretty - they look like blur snowdrops - is that what they are ? Wonderful post as ever - hugs from Shroo:)xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and beautiful pictures. I have decided that the next time we get to town, I am going to look for a camera that I can just point and shoot and see what happens. Of course when I go for my walks, there is woods to the left of me, woods to the right of me, woods in front of me and woods behind me. But I will see what delights I can find.

Hmm, you may not be able to see the wood for the trees....I have a very simple camera, a second-hand Samsung for 25€, but it is really good.
