In the Garden

Hello, and welcome!

Happy Tuesday.....hope you are having a lovely day, and if not, why not?  You know how nosey I am....tell me about what's goin' on.......I lead a very sheltered life....hahaaa!

We've had a beautiful autumnal day here, and it's probably time to start getting my gardens ready for the colder weather.  We don't have many trees, but we have lots that surround our property, and always get a ton of fallen leaves blown into our gardens and paths........I love it!  The Hubster complains that it looks untidy, but I don't agree......I think a carpet of fallen leaves looks absolutely beautiful, and I always make a point of  kickin' a few around.......'twould be rude not to, after all....hahaaa!

Anyway, our new challenge at Twist of Faith is all about the garden........

He made all kinds of beautiful trees grow there and produce good fruit...
Genesis 2:9 GNT

Want to see my card?

Well, I've made it, so here it is...............

It's the first time I've used a Softpencil image, and I think I'm in luuurve!  

I layered up some freebie papers in this pretty colour combo.....I wanted the card to be quite soft, but with some strong accents.......ooooo.....that makes me sound as if I knew what I was doin'...ha! I placed the digi and the sentiment on the same die cut label, just for a change.....I rather like the effect.......

Now, you just have to agree that this likkle miss is cute!  I've actually been a bit of a traitor to my trusty Promarkers, and fell for the wiles of some Spectrum Noirs.......oh, yes, indeedy........but not too sure I like 'em.  Maybe I just need a lot more practise, or perhaps the cardstock I use isn't quite right for them, but I didn't think they blended as well as my lovely PMs do, and there was quite a bit of smudging goin' on.......but no prizes for spotting the splodges!

The large flower is taken from one of those headbands I bought, last spring, from Primark.....for those of you in the UK, it's always worth takin' a gander at what you can pick up there....remember my free ribbons from the pyjama department?....just sayin'........

Did you notice that gorgeous burlap ribbon?......it was in the bundle that my lovely teamie, Bonnie, sent to me.....I love it!

The sweet sentiment spot was another freebie which I thought fitted this card, perfectly......

And this verse is yet another freebie that I found when I did a Goggle search.......I'd love to know the author, if you recognise it.............

I finished with more flowers.......paper ones, this time, from my stash, with the addition  of some sequins and flat-backed pearls......done!

Right, now it's your turn.........you'd love to win some of these sweet Softpencil images, wouldn't you.......so 

get creatin'!

Hugs,
