Oh Fig!
Well hello
from the “High Desert of Central Oregon”!
My craft space is workable finally
and I have a card to share with you. I
love figs and have been nurturing two fig trees that I have in two large pots
for 3 years and this year they are loaded with fruit. My worry here is that the nights are getting
cooler and I’m afraid they may not ripen.
OH NO! This is my first card
since the big move back in June and it took me most of the day to do this very
simple card, I made one that was colored in…didn’t like it and finally settled
on this style to use the pretty Figs and Pomegranates stamp set from
Flourishes. I have figs on the
brain. Unfortunately that didn’t
translate to well to the card stock. I
think somewhere along the way in this big move, my mojo took a left turn and I
took the path to the right, hopefully my mojo and I will go full circle and
reconnect soon. I am entering this card
in the Mod Squad challenge, the theme is fruit or harvest and I'm hoping to harvest these figs shortly, there are some gorgeous entries over there you
should check out. 
Anyway it’s
good to be back.
I had some
pretty fall papers from Graphic45 and watercolor paper that I stamped the fig
images on using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and traced the images with Sakura Clear
Star, added the green stones for accent.
Thank you
all for checking in on me from time to time, I am so fortunate to be surrounded
by such talented caring ladies.
Beautiful card design. Love how you sponged to add more dimension to the card.
