Oldie but a Goodie Challenge - In the Garden

It's time for a new Oldie but a Goodie Challenge, and this fortnight our theme is:

'In the Garden'

Our sponsor for this challenge is Iva Nova Chest


With the lovely weather we're having in the UK at the moment, surely the only thing to do in the garden is snooze in a deckchair?! Well...that's what I went with anyway...and used a Penny Black stamp that I picked up in the sales just after Christmas last year called 'Catnap', which I coloured using watercolour pencils. The papers are from the 'Farmhouse' pad by Crate Paper, and the sentiment stamp is from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Oldie but a Goodie Challenge.

    Now if this were real, all it would need would be a big shady tree and I'd be a happy squirrel! Those two look so content soaking up the sun, what cuties! Gorgeous card hun. Hugs Sxx

    The doodled frames really tie all the layers together quite nicely Helen - and you have done a beautiful job with your coloring! Glad you are sharing your project and best of luck in the “Two Word” Sentiment Challenge!
