And exhale a rainbow


Today’s card featuring a whole stack of stamps from Artist Impressions to create a cottage garden scene.


To make up this card I followed the tut my crafty friend Jenny posted a few weeks back, which you can find here.  You really need to go check out her blog, Jenny does the most amazing cards!

As this is a shaker box card with two interactive elements (it comes flat in an envelope but then opens out plus the shaker part) I am entering it in the current challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.  Over at TGIF they want to see some repeat stamping.  I have lots on this card to create the garden, a row along the bottom of the shaker element, two different kinds in the wheel barrow as well as repeated flowers in the various pots.

The entire card has been water coloured so I’m also linking it up at Simon Say’s Stamp Work ItWednesday challenge.  I think the water colouring really helps to set the scene of an English cottage garden.
