This month's verse is:
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again
and the challenge is to include a heart and cherub.
The heart and cherub were a bit of a challenge but I found a nice gothic cherub picture on the internet holding a heart. I think it matches my sombre, rainy lake scene. I have edged the verse with worn lipstick distress ink to tie in the colour of the heart.
Lake scene stamp from Stamp-It Australia : Luscious Landscapes stamped using watering can archival ink.
The background is iced spruce and weathered wood distress ink with water added to make it look a bit gloomy like a rainy day.
Thanks for visiting me Julia. Your tag is beautiful..great atmospheric colours xx
