When I went to visit my brother in New Zealand this last August he had built me this wonderful bench on top of his hill. He also built the steps for me to use ans he knew that I had a tough time climbing hillsides.You cant see it in this picture but looking one way you could see the Pacific ocean and looking the opposite way you were looking right up the Pikowai valley. This area is located south of Auckland about 4 hours and right in the Bay of Plenty..
This morning I opened a lovely envelope from Linda Palmer with this special Tilda image. I airbrushed the scene using just a torn piece of paper to create the land and scalloped circle punch to create the sky....I miss my brother!!! I want to go again...
What a beautiful card! I love all the airbrushing! It's awful to live so far from your siblings. I know how you feel. Big hugs to you!

Oh, Rosanne! You almost have me in tears! What a touching story and what a wonderful brother! This little card is absolutely stunning. You've done such a beautiful job with the airbrushed scene and little Tilda sitting on the bench.

What a great card and such a lovely thought your brother had for you when he built those for you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! New Zealand is on my list of places "to go" =) I almost studied abroad there! =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! How wonderful of a gift that your brother gave you. You can see the enjoyment of sitting and watching the view within your card.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your brother was to make you the seat with the lovely view. Brothers are very special people!
