Flower Garden

I hope you've all been able to enjoy some of the wonderful sunshine we've been having.  Apart from a day out with a picnic on Tuesday, I spent most of the week in the garden, a lot of the time doing 'jobs' but I did find time to relax as well.
Not much crafting, but I did make a birthday card using the Tim Holtz Flower Garden stamps.  I used Kraft for my base and then used a Memory Box stencil with Worn Lipstick DI. The  image was stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Markers.  The butterfly was cut using a Brusho scrap, and then coated with Rock Candy Crackle paint.  The sentiment is  Tim  Holtz.
I am entering this at:

Thank you for visiting, I do appreciate it.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend and hopefully some sunshine.

    Oh, how lovely! The watercolouring on the flowers is gorgeous, and I love how the panel pops against the rich brown of the background layer. What a great card, Avril.
