I picked 3 of the images in this fabulous set, stamped them onto Canson water color paper and colred them with SU markers and the aqua painter, then I die cut them, the rings around the images and the opening on the panel with my Nesting Spellbinders Circle dies. The background is embossed with a Cuttle Bug brick folder. The little garden accessories are from a retired Flourishes set called "From the Garden", I stamped, colored and fussy cut them, the watering can took some doing, I had to aid myself with an exacto knife to go around the handle, sheeesh!! I was going to just stamp them and die cut a circle but the images would have looked to cluttered so I just brace myself and fussy cut them. Oh, I forgot to mention that the rings around the images were embossed with a wood grain folder to give them a garden feel.
Here is a picture of the finish inside.
The sentiment is from another Flourishes set called "Garden Dreams", I love it, this statement is so true.
Here is the sketch that inspired this card, I just turned it on the horizontal to be able to use the brick embossing folder.
And these are the stamp sets I used to make my card.
Thank you for stopping by today, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

Wow ! You actually cut that handle ! Miss Frisky Fingers !! This is quite a bevy of colors ...you did everything so pretty !
Thank you Sonny, the handle of the watering can was actually not hard to do with the exacto knife, my snipping scissors are also very sharp.
Fabulous cutting #skillz here Maria! I'm not that good with an Exacto knife at all! Love these Suckies! And I love that brick EF, don't have one. Wish my Studio was next to YOURS!
Oh Patti, you know how much I wish we lived closer, even if it's not next door but maybe just a short drive away.
That brick EF is ancient, it's a bit warped but still works great. Love this sweet, petite plants but, I have a brown thumb when it comes to keeping them, LOL!!
