Ok, so I kinda cheated with the whole rebus thing, and used this sentiment from the SU set "Picture This". I just couldn't think of anything on my own.
I have always loved Biggan's style using white so much, and also using the textured cardstock. So her cards inspired me to try doing that more.
Also, when I was done with this card, I realized that I didn't use ANY EMBELLISHMENTS!!!! What, and that wasn't even the challenge??? Where is the ribbon, buttons, brads, pearls, rhinestones etc etc??? I like it without any of it!! haha
I drew the lines by the sentiment with a fine tip marker to match the lines in the stamped image.
This is my second card for the garden theme. This is an OLD stamp from 1999 that I actually got in a white elephant Christmas exchange when I worked at my LSS. How nice of my coworker to actually put GOOD stuff in the white elephant exchange!
TFL!

Beautiful card. I have always appreciated this stamp. And the way our LSS used to show it was with one of the windows cut on three sides with a little charm on the inside. So cute. But I think I like yours even better. Your colors are vibrant and exciting and your sentiment just matches those little boxes.
Thanks for sharing a wonderful card.
