The Vet Set in action!

Inspired by the best TV show ever: All Creatures Great and Small!

This is the card I've been wanting to make for ages! Well, finally - here it is! I placed my Swedish vet in a different surrounding and a different time, and here is my vet, someone that reminds me of one of my favorite TV caracters ever - Tristan! Or maybe James. But not Sigfried, because he wouldn't look so at peace!
I'll continue using my set, and see if anyone will start to play along. Please send links to your pages in the comments - or comment away, anyway!

Det här är kortet jag har velat göra extremt länge! Här är det! Jag placerade min veterinär i en annorlunda miljö, i en annan tid... och här är han, någon som påminner om Tristan - en av mina favoriter i den bästa TV-serien någonsin - "I vår Herres hage"! 
(Eller kanske är det James? Det kan i alla fall inte vara Sigfried, för han skulle inte se så fridfull ut!)
Jag kommer att fortsätta använda mitt set och se om någon vill börja hänga på. Jag blir glad om ni skickar länkar till era skapelser i kommentarerna - eller kommentera på, ändå!


Stuff used/Vad jag använt:

Stamps/Stämplar:
