Seize the Birthday Challenge - Things in a Garden

 

For this challenge, I went deep into my closet for a really old Stampin Up set, Embrace Life.  I really love SU images, I just don't use them very often!  That said, they worked perfectly for some flowers in a garden

A different style of card for me, but feedback I got said "I like it, go with it" - so, I am.  I had plans to sponge the background, but didn't have any daubers [I was at a friend's house] so I just went direct to paper.  It gives a different look for sure. [Yes, it's growing on me].

I highlighted the images with some Copics, and used a handmade sentiment.

Your turn!  Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  While the things in a garden is an option, being a birthday is not.  Have fun!



Thanks for stopping by~
