Welcome - I am so glad to be back.
My wonderful SIL has given my computer some open heart surgery, a boost of vitamins, and things are going much better... the other news is that the treatment is a temporary 'fix' and now I am saving... hard!
I love this 'New Mexico' image from McMahon Five Design.com, and enjoyed using it again on this card after colouring it with pencil
.JPG)
I matched it with some embossed paper I had inked using the direct to paper technique, and some dp from my stash.
I also raided my button stash.
The sentiment was stamped, embossed and mounted on a green layer which matches the green behind the main image.
The card was finished with some hand died seam binding, part of a RAK from Lovely Linda gathered onto the base and a bow added.
