Cottage Card

Another card made form the vintage cards I found on the net. This one is from a set of landscapes that I have cleaned which you can download below. Unfortunately most of the landscapes have a full coloured background so may only be of use if you are going to use them as a rectangle, but there are one or two like this where I’ve been able to modify the background to cut into other shapes.

I wanted to cut this into an oval because it needed to fit into a new Marianne die that I was given at Christmas and was eager to try out. I inked the edges before mounting it on to the background. Then it was just a matter of layering the matting boards and adding some floral decoration. The leaves are a spellbinders die that came with the triangle I’ve used on other cards.  The dark flower is a rolled paper rose, and either side of that are small “scrunched” flowers, and three pale pink purchased babies breath. I used this card as an Easter card.

The cottage I used in this design can be found in this set of  landscape images which can be accessed here
