I edited my photo in Picasa using the sketch button, I'm thinking of using this for another project, and ended up with a reasonable photo. I printed this out several times in different edits and (I am low on ink hence not black and white!) decided the photo framed and at an angle would be the best one to use.
I then added elements which are me - sort of. The wool; I usually knit, crochet, sew in front of the tele and on long journeys.
Garden peel-offs; I am a gardener.
Butterflies in several formats; flitting away.........
A bow; for when I get dressed up.
and then the words; happy - I am, wonderful and special ...... that's what I am to someone .....
I have received the following swaps:
This one uses a photo taken at a fair, the Resi had her face painted so used this decorate the rest of the card - bright and cheerful.
Steampunk with diamantes, feathers and a gold frame.
A lot of work has gone into this one and it really lifts this card in quality. With lace, flowers and a silver edge, the card has also been corner trimmed and embossed - really pretty.
This card is also from Resi -
shows how different takes work out.
Thank you girls for being my partners and thank you, Resi, for hosting and sending out this extra one.
Well done Christine for changing your photo in Picasa--haven't tried that yet.
