Well, Bank Holiday is over and the weather has reverted to how it was prior to the weekend - it is cold and a bit on the dull side. Thought I would brighten my blog with a picture of my favourite rhododendron. We have two bushes which herald these gorgeous flower heads and my photograph does not do them justice. They are the most beautiful ones I have seen. Totally white with deep purple centres, each floret looked almost like an orchid.
This is a closeup of one of the heads. Can you see why I think each floret is like an orchid?
Not being a day for sitting out in the garden, much as I like to look at the rhododendrons, I went to the podiatrist (he prefers the term chiropodist) so life is much better today. I finally finished off my other card with the alcohol ink image and here it is.
As it was a 'pinky' background that I had created with the inks, over stamped in black Archival ink and clear embossed I first mounted it on some silver cardstock which I had embossed with one of my Cuttlebug folders. Then I mounted on some pink cardstock and finally on a brown background (which look dusky pink in the photograph). I am hopeless at getting things centred and so for this one I decided to mount in one corner - this left a fairly wide gap and I used one of my Grungeboard flourishes, coloured with a black Dabber to tie in with the image).
