Wonderful color combo Betty. Today I used several new to me things. Sorry, no dessert. Trying to cut back. hehe......details.....
Just got this new Tim Holtz eb folder of a brick wall. After running it through the cb, I sponged it with cajun craze and wild wasabi.
These leaves are from a photo of the neighbors morning glory that has decided to climb over the fence and root itself in our yard. I took a photo of this leaf because it showed so much detail. I cut, pasted, resized it several times, printed it and cut it out. Worked perfectly for this brick wall.
The heart was inspired from flowergall36's card a couple of days ago. She had this crocheted heart. So I Googled it, printed out the pattern and made a few. Aren't they cool?! Since I didn't Google morning glory, I used the heart as my "faux" morning glory flower. Plus it is pretty close to the baja breeze color.
My doggie here, who blends rather well into the wall, is a Mutnik sketched doodle I did awhile back on an envelope. Then last night while talking to my sis, I re-sketched it and Wal-La now it's here. Coloring was done with re-inkers and prisma pencils/gamsol.
Put all my images, popping up parts, on a white AC card that I sponged the edges with baja breeze.
Well, hope you like my mish mash of things here.....TFL :0)

Cathy this is so cool! Love the wall, but really love your ingenuity when it comes to the leaf from the morning glory vine. Super job there! And you crochet too, amazing! Your Mutnik drawn dog is perfect for this whole design!

Love your morning glory! I have some in my flower bed that has taken over my shepherd's hook. I won't let hubby tear it down yet, cause it is so pretty to look at when I am sitting in my breakfast nook every morning! Fantastic card!
