We're starting another challenge over at FarmQuest today and this time our theme is "Porch or Deck Furniture" and we always have an underlying "Country or Farm" theme. Our challenge will run from January 28 thru February 13, and our next challenge will start on February 14.
The instant I saw this beautiful image, I thought about the front porch on my Grammy's farm house, and the rocking chair where she sat, usually doing some chores while she relaxed. With a crockery bowl on her lap, filled with green beans needing to have the strings removed, or walnuts that needed shelling, she would sing to the birds in their own tongues as she soaked up the last of the afternoon before dinner was started.
I ended up buying the entire collection of clip art rocker images, chose this one, printed it in grayscale (the lightest possible), then colored it with pencils and a touch of water colors on the leaves. I cut the image with a die from Spellbinders, then mounted it onto of a scrap of dp (probably DCWV) which has been in the scrap basket for at least 5 years!
The sentiment was printed, then cut with an Avery Elle die. It's a pretty simple card and could even be called CAS but for the fancy print in the dp.
That's all for today but I hope you'll come and play along with us this fortnight. We love seeing what you create. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
