It looks like Spring is finally here with warmer days but the nights are still frosty.
We are heading to my Secret Garden for this Tea Party. I made a water colour background by painting sploches of colour on water colour card. Doodled the flower garden with a micron pen. Added highlights with gel glitter pens and added the Secret Garden sign using my new Lavinia stamp.
Finished off the flower garden with some sparkle by adding lots of tiny little gems to the flower centres. I don't know whether it will show up in the photo - but the gems are definitely there.
Hope you will enjoy.

I could see there were lots of gems tucked into those flowers and had decided to keep a running count until I ran into one flower with FIFTEEN - I decided to just enjoy the sparkle!!!

I always love your magical gardens, Helen. I wouldn't mind seeing your real one either, it always sounds lovely. With the nights getting longer here I'm envious of your Spring!

Beautiful garden Helen. Your gardens are always so delightful to see! Was 5 deg this morning and breezy. I think I may have to pull in my remaining green tomatoes soon.
