Inked up my image with two shades of green ink, spritzed with a little water and pressed onto mixed media paper. Inked the image a second time (no water this time) and stamped over top to sharpen up the images. Added a simple sentiment in black, and popped up my main panel over a larger panel of green. Fun and easy card!

I love the greenery in your card and it does have the look of the green of the Irish. How nice your mom was able to come and spend time with you. Jessie is eating up that love and attention.

ReplyDeleteLovely fresh greens on your gorgeous card Loll, your mum and Jessie stole the show, wonderful to see her enjoying time with you... my mum will be 90 in Nov, she comes to visit up here most years but I'm reluctant to fly her here this year with that darn virus... cherished moments to hold dear, hugs Robyn

Oh, wow, your card is absolutely gorgeous, Loll! It helps that I love green, I suppose. Jessie loves your Mom, I can tell. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the picture of your mom with Jessie, they look so content next to each other! Your green card is fabulous!! I must try that with sme of my silhouette stamps, but instead of black, stamp them green, what a clever idea!! Heart Hugs, col
ReplyDeleteI love your mix of flowers in those pretty greens Loll and they make a great 'good luck' card, and the darker green mat makes a beautiful frame, also lovely dimension with the popped up image panel. x
