Welcome - this will be a brief post, but at least I am here for a moment or two. I have given the computer lots of rest, so hopefully it will keep going for a tad longer.....
This is a totally digital card - the sentiment and the background paper are from Paulette at Create with TLC, and the image is from Designed 2 Delight, and all are freebies.
I painted the image with watercolour crayons - I had great fun doing that :-).
To add a wee bit of interest, I then painted a layer of iridescent medium over the sky, which the camera has just picked up.
I mounted the image on a dark green layer, mounted it over the harvest paper, added the ribbon and adhered that to the larger green layer.
The sentiment was layered onto orange and then onto the bottom of the green layer, and it was all assembled onto the orange base.
The final touch were the clear rhinestones.
