How are you doing on this Friday in your part of the world? It has been so cold here again, that we need something really vibrant for a card today. I pulled out one of the CardMaps Sketches from Becky Fleck and a great digital image from Power Poppy called Plant Kindness. I’m making a series of cards for my sister in law and one of her requests was for gardening cards. She has a massive garden and always plants new and interesting vegetables each year, so this image is just perfect for her!
I found a few great sheets of older designer paper that had a really wild print on it and thought it would make a perfect map for my colouring and a backdrop for the image.
Here’s the CardMaps Sketch I based it off of, I just used an oval rather than the circle, so that adjusted all the other panels too.
A little wood veneer heart and some twine finish it off.
