Hi everybody!
We had a wonderful, warm spring day again, so lovely. The sun was shining, the skies and river were blue, and I really enjoyed being outside.
This card is another DT piece for Gecko Galz, using an image from the 'beautiful March' collage sheet. I mounted the image onto bronze mirri-card, and matted it with paper 8b from Nature's Garden Paper Pack. I used a blue metallic card, and some butterflies as embellishments.
Here are a few impressions of my walk along the Rhine today. The farmer was busy on his fields:
The water was blue and sparkly
I love peeking through gaps in trees:
The trees get cut back every couple of years, and will soon be branching out and full of leaves again
Thanks to all who asked about my eye. It has healed well, and I can see much better, but still need to have a lot more examinations and treatments for other problems, and have drops to keep the pressure in my eyes down.
Have a great day, and hope the sun is shining for you, too.
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Beautiful card Valerie and such a lovely image too. Glad you had a lovely day and we did here too - seems like Spring has arrived at last.

Was für eine schön Karte, die Du da gewerkelt hast, liebe Valerie! Und Deine Fotos sind - wie immer - eine Augenweide! Sehr schöne frühlinghafte Eindrücke!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and the butterfly was perfect for an embellishment. The photos of the tree stumps -- the trees had to be hundreds of years old as they are massive. I really like the closeup shot you took.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week; happy to hear your eye has healed and you can see much better.
