This image makes me think of a TV series I enjoyed as a child - "Little House on the Prairie", and I read the books as well. I colored up the image having autumn colors in mind. A made a frame around the image using a wood patterned DP and an inner frame of kraft distressed with Walnut DI. The DP I used as background came free with a magazine. I cut close to the lines of the image, added a 3D butterfly for dimension (and to cover up my poor coloring of the butterfly that is part of the image). I used letter stickers to make the sentiment.

This is gorgeous Pia. Gorgeous image and colouring and fantastic layout. I use to watch that programme too but as I am years older than you, you must have watched it when it did the rounds on T.V. again. Lol!!!

Aww this is wonderful Pia… I thought immediately of Little House on the Priaire… she looks very like Laura! I bought the box sets on DVD and still love watching them. I love the way you've done the wooden frame like she is gazing out of the window… and the butterfly perched outside is ust perfect… the whole card has a fab 3D effect… I really love it! :-)
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Big hugs

I loved that show too! I will have to remember that trick about using the 3D to cover up a colour glitch! lol Brilliant idea!
I don't know how I missed this gorgeous creation! And you're right - it does remind me of Little House on the Prairie. I used to dream about living in a place called Walnut Grove! But I digress - that's a beautiful card, Pia!
