The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is In the Garden, a nice easy one.
I've used a Crafty Individuals stamp on a soft inky background and coloured the flowers and leaves with Inktense pencils. It's quite a large stamp and easily makes a 5"x7" card when you add a border.
The rest of the team have some lovely garden inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details.
Life has been a bit hectic lately, I've been doing extra Grandma duties as Laura has picked up extra work covering for holidays. I don't mind - making the most of it really as they will be off to school in September. They're growing up fast, and had their Nursery Graduation photos taken last week!
As always, thanks for calling in, Avril xx
What a gorgeous card! The stamp looks amazing and I love how you matched the flower colour with the border - so elegant. You coloured the image so beautifully with the Inktense pencils; I may have to seek mine out as I don't use them very much 😊. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
