I did add plenty of colour in my garden. But, shhh - there is a white iris on the inside!! This is my card for Evelyn, the destination for this week's Teapot Tuesday party.
I made it a big bigger than normal, so that I could have some of my Faux Patina showing, so it's pretty much 7" x 5".
For the base I used Old Paper and Kassie's Brocade ef, and then sponged with various yellows, blues and greens, finishing off with some Versamark and gold EP.
Stamping Bella image stamped on watercolour paper, coloured with pencils and finished off with some Stickles and Liquid Pearls. I added a SNSS lace border threaded through with some colourful fibre and a little tag from Lili of the Valley. Inside has Labels 8 cut from white with a birthday sentiment and an iris.
Sorry for the photo - grey day, and I had to get this in the post ASAP.

Very pretty! Your faux patina bg is awesome! Love your garden of blooms...the liquid pearls are cool accents here and there and the colorful fibers bring everything together. Gorgeous card Sabrina!

Pretty, pretty this is. Love all the colorful flowers and the use of stickles and liquid pearls---just add to a great card. Love the verse, and the lace with ribbon look.

Such a beautiful and delightful garden of flowers, Sabrina! I love the flower image and what I can see of your beautiful golden bg! The eyelash yarn adds a touch of airyness and movement! Evelyn is going to enjoy this wonderful garden (she doesn't have to tend to it)!

Sabrina, this is such a light and cheerful garden of flowers! I love the liquid pearls hidden among them! That background is beautiful too as well as the ribbon through the punched border. I'm sure Evelyn will love this!
