I Spy With My Little Eye ....... Something From the Garden (Challenge No. 18)

Hello and welcome to a new "I spy with my little eye" challenge taking place right here on my blog! Pauline and I are back with a new theme and we hope you'll join in the fun! We had some fabulous entries last month, thank you all so much for joining us! Be sure to scroll down to the end to see who made our top 2, both which will have the option to join us for our next challenge.

This time it was my turn (Ellie) to select a theme and it is................

I spy with my little eye..........


something from the garden.


What can you find in your garden? Flowers, fruits or veggies, maybe a garden gnome, how about a fairy or some garden tools? Lots of options I think and we can't wait to see what you'll come up with. The linky tool is at the end of this post. 

Below are our shares and we hope to inspire you to join us this month.

My Card (Ellie)

This cute image is by Colorado Craft Company from the set  Veggie Stack. I colored with Copic markers then fussy cut. There is a matching die set for this but I don't usually purchase them as I don't mind fussy cutting. Whenever I color with copics I feel like making a CAS card and that is what I did here too. I used an embossing folder by Spellbinders for a textured background and then cut out a circle  for more interest. Lavinia's Feather Leaf stencil was used inside the circle aperture. The sentiment is part of the same set. I added a die cut butterfly (Penny Black Soaring die) to finish it off.

Challenge I'd like to share the above card with:



What a delightful card so perfect for the garden theme! To find out how Pauline made this card please visit her blog.

Such a cute little mouse proudly carrying the different vegetables. Great coloring of the image and a fabulous presentation with that embossed background and stenciled circle. And I think the statement is true too. Gardening surely is a way of calming down.
Thank you for participating in the current Critter Crazy Challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
