Tough times right now and not just with the pandemic, nature is also having her say and my thoughts are with all of you affected by the terrible fires raging in the USA.
Sadly this week, a neighbour passed away very suddenly which is always hard on the family and particularly her two sons who still live at home. Fortunately I did have an appropriate card.
I had been trying my hand a couple of oriental type cards similar to the amazing paintings that often appear on my Pinterest feed and thought this one would be suitable to send to the family
I used distress inks for the background and the sun and the bamboo is stamped. I've a few sets with an oriental theme that have been in my stash for years - I just never really used them much
I drew a few birds with a fineliner and stamped a border to the base of the card
I also tried another one using distress inks
...But I messed up a bit with the sun. I drew the little fishing boat, the tree and the birds and added some acrylic paint in red for the blossom
Although I messed up a little I still like it and I'm hoping to try more of this style
I don't know about you but I'm still struggling a little with this new blogger... I can't seem to get the line spacing right.
Anyway... Thank you for stopping by, have a safe and happy day
