Today, I played along with one of the Flourishes Release Week challenges. It was tough to get good pictures of the "country roads" around my home. I did take this picture and I am a little bummed that my roses don't show up hardly at all. They are the teeny tiny bit of red near that closest telphone pole on the right side of the road. I want you to know this because we were to draw color inspiration from our country road. I didn't use my colors in the same proportion as my photo. I used kraft for the drying grass on the side of the road, gray for the road, yellow from the lane dividing stripe, red for my nearly invisible roses and of course a touch of green for all the glorious trees in my photo.
Here is my card. It's as rustic and down home as where I live.
I stamped the wheat for all the tall grasses you see on the road. I inked up half of my butterfly to get a profile to fit into my design. I used the burlap twine as a natural fiber found around our little hobby farm. That sentiment just seemed to fit for today. Calm is a good summary of the tenor of our home today.
Thanks for stopping by!
