How Does Your Garden Grow??...

Hello dear friends: It's time for another fun challenge at Shopping Our Stash , this week we want you to share your creations depicting "Things that grow in the Garden", from flowers to veggies to fruit. I wish I had a green thumb but the only things I can more or less, successfully grow are tomatoes in containers, which is great because I just love them. My flowers grow perfectly fine, it's just things to eat that I have trouble with, I would love to have herbs planted, maybe I should grow them in containers too.   So go take a look outside in your own garden or your neighbor's garden and make a card to share with us and, if you need some inspiration, go check out the rest of the Designer Team's blogs, I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit and will get your MOJO going.  Here is my card.

This card was made using one of the beautiful images from Power Poppy's set called Sage Advice, which was released a year ago, love this set. I stamped the image onto Canson water color paper with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter.  The small yellow gingham ribbon and the scissors were stamped onto scrap pieces of Strathmore Multimedia 90lb. water color paper so I could fussy cut them, this paper is thinner than Canson's 140lb. I use most of the time, therefore easier to cut by hand.

I die cut this image with the retired Label Collection dies from SU and did a bit of paper piercing around the blue frame.  The green panel is stamped with another one of the images from this set, such a pretty line of fragrant herbs, the sentiment is from the set too.

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

Both the sentiment and the sprig of chives are from the same set. 

So go on and look in your stash of stamps and join us in the gallery, we can't wait to see what you create. For awesome inspiration, stop by my team mates' blogs.

Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
