As you can see it's a 'dinning' setting, lots of neutral and earthy tones... at first I struggled to work out what I might do with this image, but after some very inspiring blogg hopping, I was able to look beyond just the picture and the 'actual' items in it. Unfortunately i have been unwell since Friday night so I haven't the energy to actually stamp out the image I had in mind, but I'd like to verbally share with you what I thought of and perhaps someone else might have the time to 'create' and put a link in the comments for us to view later.
When I started to think of dinning out, it made me think of some of the great times I've spent with family and friends around a table enjoying good food and good conversation. There have also been some lovely 'romantic' occasions that Jamey and I have enjoyed a meal out together just the two of us... and as we are getting closer to that day of celebrated love... Valentines Day, I thought why not a 'love note'.
A card that is not too fussy, as my man is not into all the frills, nice earthy tones in keeping with the image... Very Vanilla, Kraft, Creamy Caramel... perhaps even close to cocoa. Add a little bit of blinge to give it a lift... some crystal brads, or heat embossing? And an image to that speaks of the moment, one that expresses nurture, security and longevity... perhaps the big old tree from Lovely as a Tree... can you picture it yet? It needs a bit of texture... some DSP? or ribbon/brads?
