"Little Old Wine Drinker Me"

This was a card I made for my brother-in-law's birthday.  He's a man who likes holidays, good wine and good food.

I used the Hobby Art Tuscany stamps to build up the scenery and coloured them in using Promarkers.  I like the fact you can position the stamps to your own liking to create a different picture everytime.  The below picture shows the sunflowers raised slightly using Pinflair glue (thanks to my daughter) to add depth to the card.

I think the colours of the backing card compliment the scenery really well.  I was really proud of my colouring, especially on the detail on the mountain.  Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the colours I used, so it's going to be really hard to get it looking so good next time.

Typically I nearly ruined the picture by marking my original card with butter!  Thankfully we were able to rescue the picture without damaging it and place it on the new, perfect card!  Phew!

I decided not to add a sentiment as I felt it would clutter the card too much, I think that was definitely the right idea.
