Hello friends. This evening I decided to put together a non-traditional card with a very traditional image. I LOVE this image from Maurie Manning! It makes me feel nice and happy inside when I look at it so it was especially fun to color with my copic markers.
I decided to use non-traditional paper because I liked the way the Bo-Bunny "Welcome Home" patterned paper gave the image a dreamy look that seemed to fade to what could be fog, mist or even snow. It in fact reminded me of home on the Southern Oregon Coast. We would climb the mountain behind our home on what was usually a misty-moisty day to find our perfect Christmas tree.
And the song? Also non-traditional. Joni Mitchell wrote the song in 1971 and it has been covered by many artists since then. I have a couple very favorite versions, the 1st one is by the band, Heart; and the 2nd is here by the artist Sarah McLachlan. Take a listen and I hope you enjoy!
I am entering this card into the challenge going on over at Mo's Challenge blog too:
