What better stamp for an In the Garden challenge than this lovely Thistle Garden; it's stamped on watercolour paper, coloured with pencils, and some Stickles added to the birds' wings, along with Liquid Pearls on the flower calyxes. I distressed the edges and added Stickles.
For the base, I stamped Greenery in Shabby Shutters, and then added some white EP and Sticklles round the edge. I cut narrow strips of paper and sponged them, and added a punched border at the bottom.

Pretty garden scene here, Sabrina, with the colourful birdies!! I really like how you have distressed the main image and added the stickles. Your bg looks terrific with the white EP and I really LOVE your idea of the rainbow strips!!
