Country Garden

My final my favourite thing to share with you this month is flowers. 

My Grandmother was phenomenal with putting together bright coloured flowers in our flower beds. My job was to follow her as she planted with the "magic" bucket to water the flowers after they were planted. The "magic" made the water blue.......such a fun child hood memory! As an adult I know what turned the water blue........but I still like to pretend I didn't know <wink> 

I think Country Garden is the perfect stamp to use to share.......flowers.

I have another favourite thing to share and that is country colours. Dusty rose and what I call a grey blue are some of my favourite colours. After colouring my stamp, I cut it out using a stitched rectangle die. Some paper from Julia Nutting and MFT were perfect. A white picket fence, cotton lace bow and some gumdrops finish off my card.  

I decided to keep the layout quite simple and will add the sentiment to the inside of the card when I have an occasion to use it.
