For this card, I've used some Sheena Douglass stamps that I've had for 3 or 4 years. I never did get around to buying the matching dies, so after stamping and colouring them I hand cut them - leaving a narrow border because there was no way I was going to fussy cut all those feathery carrot fronds! The sentiment is stamped with the same set. I found a surprise piece of garden themed background paper in my stash - I have absolutely no idea how long it's been there or where it came from - and added a strip of self adhesive hessian and a wooden watering can with the edges lightly inked.
I would like to share this with:
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Male

Retro Rubber - sketch (I've switched from portrait to landscape but the sketch is still, I hope, in evidence)
A perfect card for a gardener, Jane, everything goes so well together. I think you might be enabling me again - self-adhesive hessian! I haven't come across that before..... off to Google it! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant card for any gardener irrespective of gender. I love the DP that you've teamed these fabulous stamps with.

Oh yes, the sketch is mightily evident and I love what you've done with it. Those little garden bits are great - beautifully coloured and your fussy cutting skills are A1 too. The burlap ribbon is fantastic and completes the rustic theme. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
