My piece for the challenge is made up of Acrylic Squishings (for the background), various green acrylic paints for the grass, stamped twice the tree (from Crafty Individuals) and then Copper embossed. The birds are digis as cannot draw birds yet......well I can but you really really wouldn't want to see them..........lol
Am off to view some more terrific Summer of Colour entries and to see all your other wonderful craftings. Thank you for popping by and hope you all have a lovely day and are enjoying the sunshine. Take care, Annette x

I'm very intrigued by the acrylic squishings!! Tree is amazing!
love the different textures you've managed to create on your piece,

Gorgeous pieces....I love the little snapshot of a countryside scene.
Acrylic squishings sounds fun! I rarely use green, funny thing colour, just answered someone on FB who said they find red uplifting - I find it quite oppressive, odd how colour affects us..... sorry just rambling! Great work as usual!
I love the backgrounds you create.
Love your green background squishings...... really effective and the whole scene is truly a work of art.
LOVE your Frida piece as well.... to die for!!
Gorgeous work, Netty! Love the squishings! What a great effect! I agree with you: green was a challenge! :)
Love your copper tree, and your postcard is wonderful, love how you gave her a shadow.
It is gorgeous Annette, I love the way you have done the trees, beautiful postcard too.

Hi Annette! I love your Green this week,especially your background (I'm learning more about backgrounds lately so I think I am discovering them more!). Thanks for visiting my Blog and for your kind comment on my green journal page. ♥Your blog and work are wonderful! I love your banner. ~kathy
Your collage totally depicts summer. I love the various methods you used in achieving it. The tree really makes the piece, in my opinion. Also, your Frida postcard is wonderful. I use that saying of hers too. Great.
Love both of these Annette! The birds look perfect there and love the post card too!
Both beautiful pieces!I love the tree and the grass.The postcard is gorgeous-love the background!
Love your 'Green' work Netty. You should enter the INternational Collage Exchange next year.
I am the most huge fan of Frida Kahlo!!! WOW!! I love that piece! They are both beautiful, but oh gosh, Kahlo always steals my heart. And I sure love how you used the colors for your challenge--so gorgeous!

Hi Netty, Awesome to meet you! I love your acrylic squishings, what a groovy affect. Your green picture is wonderful. I love the postcard too.

I also love the background. It has great depth and texture. The birds and tree add a lot of fun the your piece. I can't draw birds very well either.
Beautiful! Love the backgrounds! Kim
You are so productive! I'm slowing down. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Netty
When you sign into Blogger if you untick where it says keep me signed in, or something..then you can leave comments. I found this to be true!!
Sue xx
Oh I love your green piece! Your "squishings" are fabulous!
Fabulous Annette! Love them both, but that Frida card is my favorite!
Hugs,
Gaby
Your green art is wonderful Netty and I'm intrigued... what are squishings...lol
Freda Kahlo... OMG love her and your gorgeous piece :D
hugs
Chris xx
Awesome creations! LOVE the color squishings!
Simply stunning work as usual Annette.xxx
Netty, your squished green acrylic paint grass is fantastic. Also like the copper embossed tree. I also do not do birds. Once I did an oil painting that had a cardinal (red bird) in the snow. Try as I might I couldn't get him the right size. It looked like a red turkey in proportion to the barn in the painting. I finally painted snow on top of him. I gave the painting to my mother, but I got it back when she died. fI love to ask people if they can find the cardinal in the painting.
Great artwork and inspirational as always. I want to craft!
Hope you have a lovely weekend.xx
Just love it Annette... I feel like I am in the country looking at your beautiful artwork...
Jenny x
What a great pic...love the grass and tree...will have to try that technique... and the birds....well they are awesome!!!
Since I am sometimes away for a few days and already you cast a great artwork after another! Super, dear Netty!
I wish you a nice weekend my friend.
Hugs
MARTINA
really nice!
OMG OMG OMG I LOVE the Frida Kahlo piece. xx
