Last summer I did some paintings and two of them I had done in acrylics, one of which you see here. I was in a flowery, summery mood that day so there really is no rhyme or reason to this painting. I was just having some fun!!
I had made copies of the paintings and so today I was sending out a present and it needed a little gift card so I thought part of my painting would make a cute little card...Viola!!
I cut some white card stock out and then layered it with some pink card stock and then layed the image on top of that I then accented it with a blue gel pen that matches the little flower.

Well thats it!!! I hope you ALL have a Glorious Day !!

Love with Bunches of Flowers,

Susan

    Great Idea and so much better than a plain tag!

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
