My card for this challenge is a mixture of digital images, photography and die-cutting.
Here is my card:
The green and blue background mats were die-cut using my favourite 'Carnation Crafts Shabby Dies'.
The photographic scene is of a village house in the depths of rural France. The photograph was taken many years ago by either myself or my sister on one of our many trips together in France. I have kept these old photos on my computer for many years and rediscovered them whilst looking for a suitable background for the ladies and gentleman from the Deco Follies folder from the My Craft Studio programme.
I had fun choosing which of the figures were most suitably dressed for the photo shoot. Then to complete the scene I turned to my Kate Hadfield downloads and found a pussy cat for the top of the steps and a beautifully behaved dog to sit neatly beside Doris. Hazel is climbing the steps and Robert is trying to look very manly.
The final borders around the photo were made using my graphics programme and finished with tiny brads.
I hope you enjoy my scene. I had fun making it.
