What amazes me with art cards, is how much detail some artists manage to pack onto them - awesome! I'm sure I would just make a mess LOL

Dymphie said...

the stamping on the strips is a great choice, wonderful card Lorraine!

Lovely card. It's almost as if the birds had torn the paper themselves.

You've been busy again, lots of lovely stuff added to your blog! I love this collage card, great collection of elements and the stamping looks fab on the painted papers!

Gorgeous, gorgeous card Lorraine! Michelle's blog/challenges are really interesting but I have yet to get off my lazy butt and do one LOL

I like the background stamp too...it looks like the real thing.

Wow--Lorraine! Lovely as usual! What a unique idea to use torn strips.

I love the saying about art on that card. I agree with it totally!

I'm sorry I haven't been by lately--grandkids--cleaning--decorating! Little time for creating I'm afraid. :o)

Some lucky one is going to get a really cool card. I love these different earthy textures and antique-y ness of the torn papers.
