The difficult card....

I always think it is so difficult to make condolence cards. So I made it simple this time. 

The paper is from Pion design. The bird and some of the flowers are from Prima. The Photo is one I have taken at Gudøy, at Vannsjø, near Moss (Norway).

Not all those who wander are lost..... and a freebie

 Kort o Mania has a new challenge this fortnight. This time, I have decorated a notebook from Hobbykunst. The background is made by using different blue left over papers. The papers are torn into small pieces and glued directly onto the book with Mod Podge.  After this, a thin coat of Gesso were added. This is the first time I have really tried Mod Podge and Gesso together to make a background. The girl is a digital stamp from Saturated canary -  "Packlight". The girl has been coloured with promarkers. The book cover has had a final layer of Mod Podge to seal the pieces. I have also added a ribbon as a bookmark.

"Not all those who wander are lost" is written by J.R.R Tolkien  - and I could not find a stamp with these words on - so I made my own digital stamp. Please feel free to use it in your own projects. You may store it on your own Pc, but please don't sell them or post them on your own homepage or blog - link back to this blog instead.
