Hello everyone and welcome to my Garden Party No. 6 taking place right
here on my blog. I'm so glad you stopped by and I hope you will bring
something along to share this month too. Remember,
anything in or from a garden goes, this can be any type of craft,
photography (from a garden), garden tips, garden weddings, etc. As always the
linkup is at the end of the post. And don't forget to check who made the top
picks from the last party.
Here is my Garden Party share this time.

I used one of my favorite Hero Arts stamps -
Antique Bee and Flowers, stamped once in
the center and then part of it on top and bottom of the card. I colored with
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I
used a Chickenwire stencil from TCW
which works as well for a honeycomb background I think, with Antique Linen
Distress ink. I then used a script stamp from Tracy Evans' set called
Magnolia
on the background for a little more interest. The sentiments in black are from
the Tim Holtz booklet of quotes called
Small Talk. I mounted the card front
onto black cardstock and then onto an embossed piece where I used the
Texture embossing folder by Penny Black.
Above is a photo of one of my beautiful mini sunflowers (Suncredible Sunflower
or Helianthus Hybrid). This plant was purchased from the Lowes Garden center
"clearance" section. Anyone else addicted to the Garden Center clearance?? I
had to quit going as I started running out of room for flowers without more digging.
Absolutely love how well this plant recovered. It looked really sad when I
purchased it but I was happy to rescue it, trim off all the spent flowers and
it grew back so beautifully! This sort of sunflower almost grows like a little
shrub and is full of blossoms as you can see a few in the background. Plus the bees and butterflies love it!
Challenge I plan to share the above card with:
- A Place To Start - Summer Things
- Can You Handle The Pressure? - Embossing Folders
- Crazy is our fame - STENCILS are our game! - Stencils
- Double D - Bee Happy
- Stamping Sensations - Birds, Bees or Butterflies
- Sweet Stampin - Use a stencil
- Try It On Tuesday - Summer
