February Partner Swap

I saw this idea on Birgit's Blog, a small handpainted scene with a white frame.  It's a beautiful card and I tried very hard to create it small size.
So this is my take on it .......
I cut three ATC sized watercolour cards and used watercolour pencils to draw out some scenes.  
I started with a 'Tuscany' scene, followed up by 'a bridge' and then  ..... lost my mojo ......
I managed to draw out some distant hills, those sort of heather coloured ones up there in Scotland.  Then 'The Tree' kicked in ...... not a good one this time but a tree .....  
Now I needed to frame the artwork but didn't think a white frame would suffice so I diecut the frames from several pieces of textured card.  
Now came the most difficult part, adding the frame to the artwork ...... I'm not very good with straight lines .... wonky eye and all that ..... but I did the best I could and I'm pretty pleased with them all.

Now they're ready to post....... I hope that they arrive safely as the cards sent last month did not arrive at all.

They arrived safely, I am pleased to say and these are my returns:



Beautifully delicate cards.
Thank you Philippa.
