I remembered an oil painting I had done 6yrs ago now and sorted through my store of photos and found this one I had taken of it. Ok it was actually meant to be Delphiniums that I painted but screw your eyes up, tilt your head side ways, don't look too closely and they will pass for Hollyhocks on a dark night!! The background is yellow which is what I wanted on the card.
Here's the painting I did in oils .
And here is the card I made from a photo of it. Base is made from cream cardstock and the sentiment background paper I simply created in word and then printed off and adhered to the cream card. The die cut is by Crafts - Too called 'Lattice Frame' which I cut in the cream and then used the inside die to cut out the image which I then reset into the frame work. Cream lace was from stash and also the Silver sticker sentiment.
I have been away on a 3 day Craft Retreat (run by Oyster Crafts) and got back home yesterday evening.I had free Wi fi in the hotel but it wouldn't let me connect up to my emails so now I'm having to play catch up with you all asap. Had a lovely time and created lots of things ( 9 items in all which I will be showing you later ) but boy oh boy was it tiring. I feel like I could sleep for a week now!!
Need to make another card for end of week as it is Little Boy's/D.I.L's Wedding Anniversary which the web tells me is Wood and Daisies. Eek. Asters are Daisies aren't they ? Well for the purposes of my card they are now!

Super card, Mrs A. I love how you've set the lovely image into the frame.
Glad you had a good time on the Oyster Stamps retreat. Looking forward to seeing what you created. xx
Lovely card and so special because you created the original image...just love the colours.xxxxx
Brilliant card Mrs A, whatever they are they look gorgeous and a gorgeous background.
Of course Asters are Daisies, a blind man on a galloping horse would tell you that.

Just love that painting, and how clever to incorporate it into your card, clever lady. Retreat sounded like fun, I've only been on one so far, but it was such fun and so tiring! Xxx

Great painting and what a good idea to incorporate a photo into this lovely card - good thinking!! Interested to see how the daisies will appear!!
How clever to use the painting and create the backing, you never run short of ideas. So you need a retreat now to get over the retreat? Yes, asters are daisies.
