When I was a little girl and my parents we go for rides, I used to love to look at houses and yards and picture the images of families inside the houses and what the inside looked like from what I could see behind the window in the back seat of the card. My imagination takes to to a place where if you opened the doors it would open to a beautiful garden with walkways that lead to a big brick house that would match the brick in the gateway in the scene on my card.

Thank you for popping in to see me today. I can't wait to hear what you think lies beyond the door. Have a great day!
Beautiful, Carol. I imagine opening those doors and seeing a beautiful home with immaculate gardens and behind the house is an ocean/sea. Oh, I want to live there. LOL
ReplyDeleteAll the sets you used helped to make this a gorgeous card. Of course, your clever ideas took it over the top.
Hello my dear, Ok so you may think this funny or odd but my door would open up to a beautiful barn filled with horses of every kind. I can picture some nibbling on their hay or rolling around on their backs. I think it's so funny when they do that. In the corner is a horse getting a rub down after a vigerous ride. On the walls are glorious saddles that smell of leather. This may lead you to believe that my dream is to own a horse ranch and you'd be exactly right. So thanks for giving me this beautiful image today.

you created a beautiful scene! gorgeous details!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with so many nice details!! Love those little flowers - they look like a vine growing on the brick wall. Really like how you used the die cuts to give an illusion of iron work.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, I can't imagine what you put behing the gates...but whatever it would be...It would have to be fabulous...You have a great blog...
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm guessing that this is the side door to a beautiful old church. That's what I picture! And I could totally see myself walking down the street, encountering this scene. You've captured it so well!
