Gardener's Delight

Don't you just love summer....the long days, especially when you wake up at 5:30 thinking it must be time to get up! (lol)  One would think that would give more time to get things done, but somehow that is never the case.  It's a long weekend coming up for both Canada and the USA as we celebrate our national holidays.....take care everyone, as it also means a lot more traffic on the roads.  We are hoping for a nice peaceful uneventful weekend, after a couple of very busy weeks.


Something a little different today, with a stamp that has been waiting for ink for some time!  I've played with water colours this time, for a change, and a pink and green combo for the entire card.  Once again, I've used the 'out of the box' cutting technique....something I really enjoy doing, plus, I had some fun with a bit of doodling.

Supplies used:
Stamp from Stampotique - Cabbage Rose
Paper from Echo Park - Victoria Gardens 6x6 pad
Spellbinders die - Labels Twenty Three
Cheery Lynn die - Fanciful Flourish
Martha Stewart punch - Doily Lace Edge

Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful day!
