Scene card

Good evening friends, very grey and rainy/thundery
here tonight. Where has the Summer gone?
 
 
After looking after our two grandchildren today
(including lots of football) I am shattered lol.
I do love having them here though and they 
certainly keep me fit! 
 
 
Just got the energy to edit a card I made yesterday
and show you it. Come and have a quick peek.
This is the 8th go at making this card!!! I wasn't
going to be defeated lol. So many in the bin now,
.........unusual for me.
 
 
I stamped the scene, shaded it using a circle mask,
then added a few gold splashes and a few touches
using a Copic.Hmm doesn't sound that hard does it?
.....it bloomin' well was I can tell you ;)
Anyway here it is, like it or not....I am still undecided.
 
 
 
ps. Here is a quick photo I took of our granddaughter
 Amelia. Isn't she a cutie....I bought her that butterfly
 dress. Infact I bought her another dress today lol.......
.....well how can a  granny resist ;) 
 
 
 
The party went well too btw., lots of food and drink
 consumed  and a good time had by all. My son told me
the children wanted to come back again when they 
got home aww ;)

This looks stunning! So clever how you've achieved a monochrome with that one shade of ink (which is lovely by the way). It feels very calm and warm. Fab! And Amelia is adorable! What a fun smile! x

That looks fabulous Viv... well done for your perseverance - it paid off!

And awwww to your gorgeous little grand-daughter - I think I'd be doing the same if I had one!

Hugs

Amelia is DARLING!! Look at those dimples!! Such a happy face. So glad the party went well.

Sorry your card caused such grief in the making. 8 tries! Good for you persisting as you've ended up with a work of beauty!

Tjee Viv, this scene is so beautiful! Love the monochrome colouring and the fading towards the splatters; so intriging and original! Hugs, Gerrina
