Hi everybody!
We had another day of sunshine and warmth today, and the rest of the week should be really hot, with a few little showers and storms in between to cool us down!
This is another of the cards I made for my DT work at Gecko Galz.
I used floral symphony 'hydrangea dreams' as BG paper, and matted it with some coordinating turquoise cardstock. The image from Vintage for me 664.1 has been printed onto canvas - which almost gives the impression of embroidery - and matted with green mirri-card and turquoise cardstock. I added some white rick-rack brad, blue roses and a dark green bow as embellishments. This card was also quick and easy to make.
(Material list: 6" card blank, cardstock and mirri-card for matting, BG paper and image, embellishments)
I saw lots of flowers again on my walk today, it looks more like summer than spring.
The lawns were covered in these little star flowers - does anyone know what they are called? I found them so pretty.
And the 'toddler' goslings are nearly adults:
I saw the thistle on my way home by the wayside, it was nearly as tall as I am!
Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by - your visits and comments are always much appreciated!

ReplyDeleteVery much enjoyed the look you achieved by printing on to canvas. Looks like needle point. Very attractive, Valerie. Beautiful colours too. Yes, time seems to be marching by - everything is growing fast! Don't know what the little star flowers are - very pretty though. hugs, Donna

ReplyDeleteJa, die Wildgänse sind schön und etwas exotisch. Hier sind sie überall! LG, Valerie

Fantastic idea printing the image on a canvas type material. It is perfect for the image you selected because it makes it appear more vintage. Very beautiful indeed. Love the flower photos. Awe spring, such a glorious time.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card!!! Thank you for sharing more flowers and the teenage gosling too. Glad the showers are over and you have some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteLike the others I like your card very much too and you seem to have an endless magical stock of ingredients, just flying around your table. You present these so ingeniously, here with a very attractive card.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are gorgeous, beautifully photographed.
Yes, you got it - my table is always full, as are the other three chairs standing round it....
DeleteThis is such a beautiful card and I just love that bird! Birds and dogs are always a favorite of mine! Lovely photos as always! Hugs and enjoy that nice weather!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue on this card. The card is quite beautiful. You get better and better all the time.

Beautiful card Valerie, I always love your printing onto canvas. Look at those goslings - all grown up ! xx
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of when I saw your pretty card is that looks just like petit point. I think that is the way you spell it. And oh yes - those little white star flowers? They are called little white star flowers. I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist it. As always - you have used gorgeous colors.
