Another Card

Elder and Sister J reached 44 years together this week. I was going to make a pretty little cake and bring it to the office.  Since everyone seems to be trying to get back to the original sylph-like form that may or may not have been a stage in life, I decided to make a card instead.

This is the card.  First I embossed it then I painted the embossing.  After that I spattered it. I like spatters.  Inside I used some StazOn ink and stamped the cute little lovebirds.  Finally, I painted them with some cheap watercolor crayons an art teacher talked me into buying after a Michaels class.  I had tried them once and turned my nose up, but now I tried again.  They worked out ok. 

Sorry.  I cannot figure out how to stand it up correctly.  The grass is supposed to be at the bottom. Sorry. Again.

To put the card together, I made a little mat that was about an eighth inch larger than the painting which gave about 1/16 inch all around...barely visible but still there.

These little guys were on the inside of the card, more or less in this situation.  It was a fun card to make.
