I hope my last post wasn't overwhelming with the July specials! But I just HAD to let you know about them! Phew... now that that is done, I can show you the card I just made the other day using a photo I took. The weather was so nice (well, at least it wasn't raining!) and coming home from town, I noticed some Queen Anne's Lace flowers all along the side of the road. These are "wild" flowers. I knew I had to get back there and get some pictures! I went crazy of course, so here are a few photos I took. The pictures just don't do the real flower justice, and a better camera is definitely on my wish list!
Aren't these just beautiful wild flowers? and they grow wild all over here in SW Washington. I have been wanting to make a "photo card" so knew one of my Queen Anne's Lace photos would be perfect, since I love lace so much. Here it is:
 |
| I used papers from the Lucy papers and added real lace from my sewing stash. I also sanded on the photo to add a little bit of an old look to it, sponged the edges of the strips and tag with my Hollyhock and Cocoa inks and added a touch of glitter. |

| Inside of the card - double sided papers work so great for cards. |
I used the Lucy Compliments Glittery rub-ons on the front of the card (little scrolls top and bottom) X7149C for $4.95.
Such a pretty card and of course, I'm going to make a whole set to use for summer greetings to everyone.
HAPPY PHOTO CARD MAKING!
What a lovely card! Love the idea of using one of the photos from your garden!
