Hello crafty friends, it's time for the new Garden Party which takes place right here on my blog and all are invited to join in. The theme is always "Anything in or from a Garden" this can be crafts of any kind, garden photography, garden tips and ideas, garden party posts etc. The only rule is that they need to be your own garden themed photos. The linky tool is at the end of this post.
And here is what I made for this month.
Some of the links included are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links. As always, this is at no extra cost to you.
This cute stamp is by Penny Black (
Flying High), stamped with Versafine Onyx ink and colored with
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I stamped the bunny again on a post-it note and fussy cut tor a mask then did some stenciling using the Circle Explosion stencil, I think it's by MFT. Butterflies are made with a new-to-me die set also from Penny Black (
Flight of Fancy) and the sentiment is part of the bunny stamp set.The "hill" was made with a die set by Whimsy Stamps (old and no longer available but there are other
similar options available). To finish it off I added stickles glitter to the flower and butterfly bodies. Mounted onto a matching green cardstock (inked with Twisted Lime Distress Oxide ink) and then a simple white card base.
I am sharing my card with these challenges:
There are no special party guests this time so I am sharing photos of 2 pretty blossoms from my garden.
Below is the beautiful Crown Princess Margareta rose I planted last fall in memory of my sweet orange tabby Thomas. It's a climbing rose as he loved to climb up on everything.
This is the same rose shrub different set of blooms. It was evening when I took the second photo so the blossoms look a little more peachy.
Below is a dwarf type of a sunflower. Lots of beautiful blooms on just one stem but unfortunately it is now faded. The birds love the seeds, I was lucky to see 2 goldfinches feasting on some seeds.
