My aunt is turning 93 this week. This is for her birthday.
I used the Less is More challenge of 3 - 2 - 1
Here is my recipe:
3 potted plants
2 words
1 glass of wine bow
I followed the sketch from Retro Sketches - I am really loving the sketches here - you can make them as simple or complex as you'd like.
I used the inspiration photo from Just Us Girls for my colors. I love the soothing tones in this picture:
Over at CASology the challenge is create a card with the cue word: RELAX.
Gardening is relaxing for me and for my aunt.
supplies:
- stamps - image: Whipper Snapper; sentiment: PTI
- paper and ribbon: PTI
- other: color pencils, nestabilities
As always, thanks for looking, and your lovely comments.
And to those of you who have started following my site, thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteLove the glass of wine idea! Gorgeous take on the inspiration photo and the sketch! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love the colors you used together! I'm so envious of you being able to relax while gardening! I've never had a green thumb in my life (can make something wither just by looking at it...), so any kind of gardening tends to make me worry that I'm not doing it right! LOL! Your card is definitely relaxing to look at!!! :) Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!
