I love to make cards from the photographs that I take! Sometimes I will add some text or a dimensional to create a little "spark" on the photo. I made the following cards from pics that I took at a quilting retreat up in Wisconsin. They are a gift for the lady that hosts the retreat. I hope she will like them.

Bundle Up

This piece was done for a Christmas gift swap thru Cloth,Paper,Scissors magazine. I used a canvas board, painted it and used bubble wrap to add more texture. Then I took a piece of torn scrapbook paper and a photocopy of an old photo that I purchased at an antique store and adhered then to the canvas. Shiva paint stick in silver was added under the words. I added glitter snow, yarn, and buttons to complete it. Come end of September, I will receive someone's art piece in return.




I enjoyed creating this little piece of holiday nostalgia.
