Good morning everyone. We've had lots of sunshine and finally some rain too. The grass was turning brown...it seemed like late July rather than early June. My gardens are in, and might even thrive with the change in weather, but somehow I've managed to get a sore throat and head cold. I might have to slow down a bit and do some crafting....maybe sip some wine for medicinal purposes....lol.
And now a card using a pretty image from A Day for Daisies....Flowers in my Garden. Isn't she a sweetie? Having three daughters and 2 granddaughters, this brings back fond memories of when they were little.
Coloured with markers and a bit of pencil, I've given the image centre stage, while keeping the card background somewhat muted. The floral DP from Paper Mania is edged with DI, and the same DI is used to colour the Memory Box die cuts. This is the Madera Corner die, with the corners hidden under the image. The Spellbinders Postage Stamp die is used to mat the image, with a bit of sparkle pen for added interest.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteWell, even with a cold, you've managed to create an incredible card here! I really love how you created a whole scene and even a soft and tender feeling with that imagery. It reminded me of feeling calm and peaceful in a gorgeous garden somewhere (not in MY yard since my gardening skills are zero, but somewhere)! I also liked how you framed this out and made the swirls and vines stretch across the background blocks. Looks amazing and I'm so glad you shared such a lovely creation with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
