I had a lot of fun creating this. It's stamped on glossy white card and I was going to colour in the background with dye inks but then decided to use the tiny writing stamp to cover the background. I stamped it over and over in Memories Olive Green and Colonial Blue inkpads and when I wanted more colour I sort of dragged it along.The card it's mounted on is actually white, but that seemed too bright so I used the same technique on that and then knocked back the colour by overstamping in black. the rough edge on both the card and the main picture is the bottom of the picket fence on the house and tree stamp.
I finished off with two sort of rosettes made from the windmill's(?someone tell me what it is!) sails.
Thanks for looking!

PPS Deby tells me it's a wind driven waterpump!

I love the background colours and the way you've built it up on this beautiful card Helen and it is a lovely image.
I have no idea what sort of windmill it is unless it's something to do with irrigation from a well??

Lovely cards so serene.
The windmill is a wind driven waterpump - my years growing up in Cornwall come in handy now and again LOL !
