With a theme as botanical you can go in so many directions but I decided for a traditional vintage picture.
The background is a vintage postcard of the Botanical Garden in New York. I have altered it a wee bit and I have added several things and toyed around with blending and other things. The result is the picture below.
On a personal note, due to some minor health issues I haven't been able to participate in any challenges and/or visit all your blogs like I normally do. I will be back again as soon as I can. Hugs & enjoy!
Sadie this is wonderful in the great Edwardian style.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love how you have added flowers to the border to create depth to your piece.
Beautifully created Sadie - just lovely!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat inspiration Sadie, I love what you have done with this theme!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHoi Sadie
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMijn man en ik waren vorig in Appeltern in Gelderland . Heb je daar ooit van gehoord ?
Daar stond ook zo'n soort gebouw vol met botanische en uitheemse planten. Zo geweldig en prachtige tuinen !!
Ik moest daar meteen aan denken toen ik jouw plaatje zag !
Het roept ook zo'n gezellig en nostaligisch sfeertje op. Goed gedaan hoor !!!
( Ik bedoel vorig JAAR :)
