Loved loved loved today's MIX challenge. Thank you Jeanne!....my card....
This really looks better IRL but then don't most cards? hehe Anyway, before leaving for work I cut out my "chip board" pieces from some thin cardboard. I wanted my card to look dimensional so I layered parts like the dots on the pot and the top of the pot.
Got home I glued my pieces onto a kraft card. Then I pulled out one of my favorite things to use, metal repair tape. It is like tin foil with sticky on the back. I covered my card with the tape then took a stylus and traced around the images.
Took out my acrylic paints and painted my card adding shading here and there. The clouds are finger painted ones and the leaf well that was a left over from yesterday's card. If you recall, I mod podged it on both sides and it is still good today! I guess that really does work.
I was going to trace around things with a black pen but wasn't sure how it would stick to the foil. So I only did the top of the ground.
Before calling it a card, I took a sanding block and lightly sanded the blue sky to give it an aged look. Now it was done.
Well another fun day in the card making world! Have a great weekend all.....TFL :0)

Awesome as always! The dimension is great, but those dots on the flower pot take it a step further, and your painting is fabulous. Love it!
