Hello everyone!Its Garden Party Challenge time again - where a magazine photo pulled out of the inspiration shoe box becomes the basis for a card. Here is the inspiration photo from last week --->
I thrilled to say the Jacqueline played along again! You can see her wonderful creation HERE. Thanks so much for playing along Jacqueline!
Here is my attempt. I do not have a mum stamp - so I improvised a little. I used this beautiful Victorian Flower stamp by Impression Obsession. This artist has so many beautiful stamps, including one of my favorite background stamps.
I embossed the image in a sage green embossing powder and colored the flowers with a Prismacolor pencil. I tried to position the image and cardstock to mimic the pillows. I scored the teal to make the seams of the pillow.
The cardstock is Prism. The background paper is from Basic Grey, but I don't remember what line! The ribbon is Basic Grey too (Mellow collection).
Honestly - I don't think this was supposed to be in the inspiration shoe box. I think that I tore it out because I thought some of those animals might look cute in the garden. Sigh.... that what comes from being disorganized.
If anyone would care to help with this, I'd appreciate it!
Maybe we can all make funky chicken and spotted pig cards!

UH OH this post is burning a hole in my wallet. (It's fairly empty though so no danger of losing much, lol) Seriously though, your card with that breathtaking stamp and the way you've coloured it are SO wonderful. That background stamp is dreamy too. Thanks for the inspiration! :0) mel
