No story, late post, busy week - sigh. I did however get a card together for Rita with lots of brightly colored flowers (including daisies) in a lovely garden for her to "stroll" through. Stamped various Rubber Stamp Tapestry flowers in bright inks. Sponged in the grass and sky, using TE cloud diecuts for masks. Stamped the bird x 2 and popped one on dimensionals. Added the MS fence and butterfly punchies. Stamped the Crafty Secrets sentiment in True Thyme (yup, True Thyme). Added some stickles to the hollyhocks and done. PT - 8
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Marzi this is a gloriously pretty garden card. I love the white fence framing the garden. The butterflies are perfect. I can smell the flowers and see the morning dew on the floral tapestry. Just beautiful.

Oh, Marie, such a pretty little garden, one I am sure Rita will appreciate with her love of flowers, butterflies and I bet, even a picket fence. Your positive thoughts will reinforce all the love we are all sending her along with our prayers. What a blessing this card will be!!

Hi there Marie! Thank you so much for making the time to make Rita this wonderful little card! I know how tough it is when there is so much going on in our lives! What a wonderful little garden of cheerful flowers for Rita...she is all about positive vibes and energy....and this card brings just that! So cool!
So sorry I was late to greet you! Tate sneezed and blew me back about 6 blocks and apparently the teapotters don't answer their cell phones and I had to hoof it all the way back! Giggle!
