Behind the Picket Fence.....



Hello everyone: It's time for a new challenge over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE and it's one of the most popular ones....."ANYTHING GOES" so, come on over and play along with us, we can't wait to see what you create.
For my inspiration card I used a spanking new Power Poppy set called Natural Beauties I just got about a week ago and I couldn't wait to ink it up, all of this images are amazing and a joy to color.
So I stamped the image onto a piece of water color paper and colored it with my Sakura Koi water colors and SU markers for shading.
I added the cute little picket fence I cut with a Sizzix "Flowers and Fence" die,to make it look like a little garden.


**********************************************************
This is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the little flowers from the same Power Poppy set.

Maria, this is so pretty with the garden gate beckoning you in! I've made one card with this set and didn't like it, so it's still on the work table. Love the set, though. I really like the sentiment inside, too.
