From the Garden

Hello Friends and happy Monday to you!  It's the start of a new week, and for many of you a happy start because it's Memorial Day in the US, we already had our May holiday last week with Victoria Day.

The title of the post is appropriate because I finally did get my garden in the ground on Saturday.  This was the first year I let the kids plant everything with me, and we had fun.  Hopefully in a few weeks we'll see some of those seeds pop up, and I'll look forward to our produce.  In other news...my cherry tree and apple tree have TONS of blossoms this year, so I'm very excited about the potential of that too!  Then I weeded and yanked out a ton of our rhubarb.  Boy that plant has gotten away from me this spring!

I have a lovely post today with a garden theme and the latest kit from Flourishes called Venice.  Wouldn't this be a nice card to pop into some garden gifts?

I used Flourishes whimsical From the Garden set as well as the Venice Kit.  Isn't that Baja colored ribbon just dreamy?  It's like an iridescent crushed taffeta that's really light and lovely to tie.  

I used the Spellbinder's Labels Fourteen Die to it's fullest on this card cutting the main image, and then cutting the bottom edge of the up and down panels on the card as well.  I love all the curves it gives to the rather straight panels of the design.   Copic coloring to match the papers and then the pretty brads from the kit on both the card and to accent the ribbon.  

So be sure to check out the other girls showing off the Venice Kit today.
