Good morning,
Today I have a card featuring Penny Black's mid-summer . I coloured the image using markers, misted it with water and then stamped onto watercolour paper. I kept this card very simple to highlight this beautiful stamp. The sentiment is from this set and the paper is from Pink Petticoat. I saw Lucy posting about this paper the other day and I spent the morning downloading! LOL! The background paper is actually a soft green although it seems to appear tan in the picture.
The main panel is adhered with foam tape for depth.
I love the simplicity of this card.
Today my son and I will be doing a few errands and relaxing a bit. We've had a quiet week as the rest of my family is away. My husband returns tomorrow and my youngest returns on Saturday.
Number 1 on the list is to finish putting together a care package for my daughter. She has had a rotton start to her University experience. They are in a heat wave with no air conditioning, her camera broke when a water bottle spilled in her purse and she got a "billet blanche" (a white ticket) for not signing in properly. If you get 3 white tickets you can lose priveledges. The worst thing is, my daughter is a rule follower so getting a white ticket by accident really made her unhappy!
Have a wonderful, sunny day, billet blanche-free day !!!!

Gorgeous! It is simply beautiful and has such a serene look to it, very peaceful!
ReplyDeleteI so love the simplicity of this card, Barbara. Thanks for all the links as I had checked them all out (love that PB stamps set..I did go to those places in Paris and I now must get that set!!). AND that is too baaaad that your DD is not having a great start for university....my DD and I can totally relate to that. I do "feel her pain" though. With your care package in sight, all things will look up again soon for her! The
