It's been a gorgeous week here with plenty of sunshine and another visit from my son's dog Bear. There have been plenty of walks enjoying the last of the daffs.
I must admit I did struggle a bit for some ideas for our "rust" theme so I looked through my off cuts of "rusty" looking painted and inked card and found these.
I decided that I would make a male and female card using lots of rust colours and textures for selling in Dotty's.
Today I am sharing the female one with some process photos.
I die cut some pattern into one piece using my Tim Holz mixed media thinlets die

Aww, what a lovely photo of Bear enjoying the beautiful weather! It's still very muddy and a bit chilly here. Lots of rain, hail and other bizarre weather. The ice has melted on the lake though, so that's a step in the right direction! lol. What a wonderful card, you really did a fantastic job for the rust theme! Your layered background is amazing and I just adore your hummingbird! Fantastic Jane! hugs :)
