More Garden Scenes

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping. This set of cards are styled in a more Clean and Simple way.

Stamp and Die set: Grace's Garden from Stampin' Up

All cards are colored with watercolor markers.

Die cut ovals were added to the first card. 

I added a kitten and bird in some of the cards.  So cute.

So just a nice bunch of cards to send out for any occasion.  See you again soon for more cards. They will feature a window scene. 

Hope you have a lovely day.

Stamp and Die set: Grace's Garden from Stampin' Up

All cards are colored with watercolor markers.

Cards 1 - 3 are all stamped directly on the white cardstock.  I used a mask to stamp the fence behind the flowers.

On the 4th card I die cut the gate and all the flowers.  I created a background with green cs for the ground and blue for the sky.

I do have a few more of the garden scene cards which I will post next time.  Hope you are enjoying the cards and that they evoke feelings of Spring.

Lovely Garden Gate

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping.  I did get carried away. (Are we surprised??  Not) LOL.  But there was a lot of scope with this stamp set and each one looks unique.
