In the Garden

Hi all hope you are well.

This weeks theme at Papertake weekly

is what i have been up to lately

In the Garden

I love this time of year when everything is

fresh and new and starting

to flower.

So that's what we

want to see on your cards and projects

a garden or flower theme.

We are sponsored this time by

Bugaboo digi stamps

and you could win a fabulous 7

digi's

My image is a Molly Blooms stamp called

Sunflower Molly i have coloured her with a mixture

of pro and Flex markers.

The papers are from Dovecraft the 

Retro Floral pack.

Sentiment is from Lili of the valley.

I made a cute shrink plastic embellishment 

out of the Magnolia watering can, i was going to

make it into a dangly charm but changed my mind

and stuck it down instead. It looks like she has been 

using it to water her flowers.

I'm going to enter my card into this weeks

Passion for promarkers challenge

this week they have an inspirational photo for

you to use.

I am also entering it into this months
Bunny Zoe's Craft challenge
It's an Anything goes month. 


Not got a lot done in the garden today
we have had a few showers and even a bit
of hail, although I'm ready for a rest day
i did a lot of digging yesterday and dug up a
few old bushes roots and all which i must admit 
nearly killed me off. (my back is not the greatest)!
I could hardly move last night, I'm no to bad today
so i nipped up to the garden centre 
between showers and bought some
 7ft canes for my sweet peas to grow up.


Thanks for looking today
Take care

Blooming Marvelous at Papertake

Hi all hurray it's stopped raining
it did not stop at all yesterday, 
though it's still dark and dreary today,

where's that sun gone come back all is forgiven.

I've got loads to do in the garden planting veg.

I know there are some die hard gardeners out there 

who garden in whatever the weather, but 

I'm not one. I'm what you call a fair weather 

gardener.

Which leads me nicely onto the Papertake weekly

challenge. This week we have the theme 

BLOOM AND GROW

This week we are sponsored by the 

fantastic Ribbon Girl who have these 

wonderful Molly Bloom stamps in stock.

I have used one of the Molly Blooms stamps 

this one is called Molly in the Garden.

I have coloured her with Polychromos pencils and

sansodor, i have added some star dust stickles 
to her watering can to replicate water.

The poppy stamps are from Elusive images
which are also coloured with pencils
and cut out which took me blooming ages to do..lol.

The papers are from Pink Petticoat vintage rose

paper pad which was a freebie with a craft mag.

Sentiments are from LOTV and Hero Arts.

I used a nesti flower shape to make an aperture

and stickled round the edge.

The tiny flowers are made with a woodware punch out

of matching scraps of paper and i added some gems.

  

I'm going to enter this card into

Creative Inspiration Challenge

they want to see the inside of your card decorated.

Thanks for stopping by 

take care
