Hi, Friends.....
I actually got to work in my garden a little bit today! Yay! I am still trying to get over this sinus infection and got pretty tired out there, but I loved getting my hands dirty......every bit as much fun as getting them inky!! :) Here is a garden-inspired card that I made to play in several challenges:
1. Cupcake Inspirations #405 - Inspiration Photo/Colors (ends May 6) - Look at the lovely cupcake inspiration photo for this week! Scrumptious!!!

A lovely, bright, summery card. I love the watering can, I've been zooming in to see if it's stitched or stamped, but I'm not sure. Whatever it is, I love the effect. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liz! The watering can image is sweet, isn't it? It comes with that stitched detail as part of the design. I stamped it and then heat embossed it in white.

Your gardening card is fantastic and as a long-time cross-stitcher, I'm especially smitten with your 'stitched' watering can! So thrilled you shared this gem in the Cupcake Inspirations galllery!
