Tellen's Place - Stripes

Here's a lovely vibrant card. It may seem a little bright but I wanted to cheer myself up and immediately thought of one of Terry's images from Tellen's Place. I am entering it into Tellen's Place Challenge which is stripes but I only made it to have a play with my MS Publisher. (I still can't find my printer lead and it is a problem trying to download the pictures as my OH has to do it). It is easier to download digital work at the moment. My Mum died many years ago but I think she would have liked this card it has everything she likes bright colours, flowers and a big smile.

Creative Cowgirls Challenge #5 - Turqoise and black or brown

What a fantastic response we had to our last challenge, over 100 fantastic projects entered and I would like to say a big Thank You to each and every one of the talented people who entered them.

This week our sponsor is Tellen's Place. Terry has such cheery images in her shop and they are a delight to work with but I know she also has some images she calls 'Dark digital images' which have a more macabre feel to them.

When I received my image for this challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I have digitally coloured it and added it to a scrapbook page. I hope Terry won't mind I did have to add a line to the grass so I could colour it in digitally. The photos are of my daughter and son walking in a wood called Padley Gorge (you would never have guessed by the title on the page). It was a great day and the image reminded me of my daughter hence the colouring of the image which is not turquoise & black or brown but I did chose to use these colours as my background.

I have used MS Publisher to design my LO and the background paper is from Tinker & Co. The image is from Tellen's Place and make a striking addition and lift the page I think.
