SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ THINGS IN A GARDEN


Hi friends!
Today is another challenge over at the SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!
This time Nancy is our hostess and the topping is:  "things in a garden".
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!
 

I had to use the topping, because I had the perfect stamp set.
Altenew:  Garden Grow
And for the sentiment I used GinaK:  Vertical Variety

I think the picture speaks for itself as to many of things you would find in a garden!
I had fun putting it together and let me tell you, there are many other stamps that I did not use on this card, it is full of wonderful awesomeness!
 
So please check out the inspirations from the design team and our Special Party Guest: Hilary by clicking on the link above!
See you in the gallery!


 
 
 

Heart Hugs, friends!

What an amazing little scene. Love that snail, at least he isn't eating your plants. The whole thing is very spring like. Although we are now definitely in spring our weather isn't quite holding up to the expectation. Your card does though, so thanks for that xx

Oh how cute! Everything goes together so well and is a perfect garden scene. I love the teeny blue bird and the crock of flowers is so pretty.

Yes, you have included many things that you find in a garden. But I have to say that the little blue bird caught my eye first. Cute card.

Linda said...

This truly is the perfect set. So perfect that I had it out on my desk. LOL!!! (I put it away when I saw your example in the gallery.) Just lovely Colleen! I really like the vertical sentiment too.
