I'm late for this week's MMTPT challenge thanks to my migraines again. This week we were to come up with something English, and I just couldn't think of anything so I finally decided on an English garden for Pat.
Stamped my card very CAS since I wasn't feeling good. Images are stamped in memento black and colored with prismacolor markers with Tim Holtz tumbled glass stippled around for sky and made some clouds by stippling over a punched scalloped oval. Added faux brads and some Michael s $1 ribbon to finish it off.
Stamps are a sneak peek of Columns and Topiaries being released next week by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company. For more info, please see my blog: http://stampinginthelight.blogspot.c...sh-garden

Bonnie, this card is beautiful! The architectural elements are wonderful, I can see them getting lots of use in the future! I hope there is a bench nearby, so we can enjoy the garden even more!

Your stippled sky looks just lovely, Bonnie - and your garden looks like a very tranquil and restful place to be. The black matting gives a lovely crisp finish to it, too.

What a lovely English garden card! Hope you are feeling better! That's my FAV ribbon, but I have to pay much more than $1 for it here! Glad you could make it to the tea party!
