This is my birthday card for a gardener. It was inspired by the photo for The Stamping Boutique challenge.
I love gardening (although it’s not much fun trying to do it in the rain at the moment. I especially like when you’ve done some gardening and you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea out there!
I inked the edges of the card with distress ink. I created the background paper using Craft Artist.
I used a Lili of the Valley die cut and coloured the background and tree with Distress Inks. I used a LOTV sentiment.
In keeping with the theme I added twine and a mini metal trowel I found.
I would like to enter the following challenges
Cooking It Up With Katie -green, gorgeous, garden

My Mum’s Craft shop – the great outdoors
