Any Designer - A Challenge.....

Davina Rundle · 25-01-12, 10:45 PM

I have been asked to come up with a card for a male 50th birthday with a flavour of England mixed with France!
The Gentleman in question has just moved to live in France from England. He's a Cornish boy, with a farming background.
Sunflowers have been suggested for the French influence, as his new home is surrounded in fields of sunflowers. So I was wondering if someone could help me out....maybe a farming scene framed with sunflowers?
Step by step would be my preferred style, though don't mind other styles as long as it's not pyramid.
A5, 8x8, 6x6, any of these would be great.
Hoping somebody will be able to help me out....
Many thanks

Anybody please.....? Very disappointed that no one has responded to this request! With all the lovely vintage designs being produced, I would have thought somebody could have come up with something.
Thanks to Sharon Poore, who responded to a different thread, I have one design to work with, but would like a choice for my customer, so if there is a chance somebody has any ideas....I would be very grateful.

Davina - I'm not sure this is in the slightest bit helpful, but just in case you can do something with it - I have an A4 sheet you could cut out and do stuff with - it's of a British Corgi as a French onion seller - he's got the string of onions, the French bread, the beret and everything...

Since puphood he'd wanted to be an onion seller

i have looked at it a few times and although i could mabe come up with the theme you want i cant do step by step so not replied hun xxx

Oh, Davina, so sorry you've felt neglected a bit by us all. We all deserve a lashing with a wet noodle for that. My excuse? I don't have any clipart that would fit. I did come up with one idea, of using both country flags and fading the one into the other, but then I was stuck for anything else/how to fit it in with the rest of your request. Sorry. Next time, I will reply anyway, even if I cannot help!

Davina Rundle · 27-01-12, 04:17 PM

Thank you to both Gail and Jolis for repling. It is a bit of a tall order I know, I always seem to get lumbered with very complicated requests!
Not to worry, Sharon has come up with 2 possibilities, and I have found something I may be able to use from Cari Lopez.
Many thanks

PS: Not so sure anyone needs a lashing with a wet noodle.......!!

Oh davina, sorry I too havnt been around either, Just had to buy a new tower as the last one just passed away (and put up a real fight though) I have french doodles if he is of any use to you love but still installing programmes before I can start redoodling xx

Davina Rundle · 28-01-12, 07:53 AM

Thanks Lee, it was more of a scenic design I was looking for. Thanks for looking in though, I wasn't expecting everyone to reply, just hoping somebody, somewhere could come up with a little country scene surrounded in sunflowers, but hey ho!!
Hope you get yourself back in doodling mode very soon.
