a glass of red?

Been a while since I had a chance to play with my
Aurora Wings images.
My image is called Wine Sprite
coloured with copic markers and a few water colour
clip artwork for my background.

We live in the region of the Hunter Valley, here in
New South Wales, a wine growing district.
My card is made for a friend who has recently
retired from the sales area in the Barossa Valley,
which is where we used to live in South Australia.
It too is a wine growing area. On the edge of each row of
grapes they grow roses. Why? Read Here.

Wat een mooie kaart. Leuk ook, hoe je de digi bij het plaatje hebt gecombineerd. De digi ook erg mooi ingekleurd.

Fijn weekend.

Great card Annie. That will be perfect for your friend. Love the image and your scene. Have a wonderful weekend. I got a nursing job as a Utilization Review Nurse for a Health Insurance Company. I have to start work on March 19th since they have an orientation that begins on that date so I have ONE week of freedom. I just have not been sick, knock on wood, no colds or sinus infections this year because I have not been stressed, got sleep and have been exercising. So I just hope that I can continue my crafting (I know that I won't be able to do as much, but I also want to continue with my healthy behaviors). I will also have to go to bed at a decent hour.

Hi Annie, AI raise my glass to your lovely card. Such a sweet image so beautifully coloured. I like how your have customised it for your friend.
Geelong, where I live, has a number of well known award winning wineries. My son has worked in a number of wineries but is now gone into the reail side.

MaryH said...

Hi Annie. This is such a perfect card for your retiring friend, and it's a delightful image, with your usual perfect coloring. Love how you have the reds shaded so exquisitely, as that's usually such a difficult color to control (for me anyway).It looks wonderful placed upon the delicate doily with the trailing floral display. TFS & Hugs
