Hello everyone and welcome to my Garden Party No. 7 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 crafty share this time.
This post includes some affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links. As always, this is at no cost to you. Thank you so much for your support!
All stamps I used on today's card are from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs: TE14 - The Wonder of Nature, TE37 Flower Power, TE43
Magnolia and TE35 Abstract Trees and TE32 Alpha Florals.
I colored the flowers using Derwent Inktense pencils and added Stickles glitter to the flower
centers. The stamps are available directly from Tracy Evans shop from the UK
or from Simon Says in the US. I also added some twine and edges were all distressed.
I plan to share my card here:
- Beautiful Blossoms - Flowers
- Dream Valley Challenges - 2 or more layers
- FarmQuest Home Challenge Blog - Anything Home Goes (Sunflowers and Wheelbarrow from the home garden)
- Paper Rock Scissors - Paper and/or scissors (all paper layers and scissors used for distressing and fussy cutting)
- Path of Positivity - Anything Positive
- The Paper Funday - Changing Seasons or AG
- Triple B - Blooms, Birds or Butterflies
- Word Art Wednesday - AG
Starting mid- August and into late summer is when butterflies are the most active in my garden and I absolutely love to walk around and photograph them. I feel like this year I've had the most butterflies ever in my garden.

A better view of this gorgeous flower. Zinnias are so easy to grow from seed and attact butterflies and hummingbirds alike. I've not bee able to capture a decent photo of a hummingbird as they are so quick.
