How does your garden grow!

Hi peeps! Before I show you my card for this week can I say a huge thank you to everyone who joined in with last weeks challenge and took part in the blog candy drive!

And the winner selected at random is....
                                                                 Sylvia-Anne

Congratulations sweetie, please post your email address or address in a message below (I will not publish this to my page) so that I can organise posting your prize to you.

I would also like to say "Hi" and thank you to my new followers - I now have 41 - huzzah! I will add another candy up when I get to 50! (followers that is - not the age, you'd be waiting a couple of years yet!)

Did anyone get chance to think if they and/or their other half's name their cars? I'm really keen to know if this is just me... ;-)

Aaaaanywaaay, this weeks challenge at CI Wednesday challenge Blog is all about "in the garden", and after feeling I had nothing to go with the theme I was a bit naughty (Peter does not know I've bought more card stuff) and purchased some digis from Make it Crafty  - the daffodil dell, and ivy tree swing (LOVE these!). I'm not usually a huge fan of digis coz it's a hassle to link my laptop up and rummage for paper that will go through, but these are definately worth the effort - I hope you agree! I played with them a bit until I could get them to sit nicely together.


Everything as always is coloured with DI's. Tilda has been mounted on 3D foam pads, I really love this stamp at the moment!


The first pic doesn't show the sparkle, but I added clear star gel pen on Tildas dress and the flowers and swing for a bit of bling! Hope you can see...


The flowers and leaves are all wild orchid crafts - I love these long leaves, they're a new purchase too (shhhhh ;-))

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Bunny Zoes Crafts: flowers everywhere!
MDUC: Flower Power
Bling it on: Anything goes
Papertake Weekly: Anything goes + something old (the paper is from an old K and co pack)
Dream Valley: Anything goes
Everybody Art: Spring
TiddlyInks: colourful
Well, that's all for now, if you get chance to let me know the name of your car, or even if you think I'm a nut, I'd love to know! Lol! Have a fab week everyone. Hugs. Katy. xxx

  8. Hi Katy, this is a really beautiful card and all the fiddling with the digi stamps has certainly paid because they all go so well together. I really like the way you colour with your DIs. Elizabeth x
