Hello friends. We have a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Nancy has chosen Things in a Garden for our "Topping" option this time.
I thought about it for a while and I have used this new stamp set from SU Scenic Garden and used three of the images - the tall flower stems on the left, the stone pebbles, and the scenic garden bench with all the flower stems around it. I colored the images with SU Blends then blended a lt. blue ink and a green ink for the sky and ground. I thought it need a couple of butterflies flying around in the garden so I looked through my old stamp sets and found the tiny butterflies. I colored them with SU Stamp & Write markers (not Blends), huffed on them and stamped them on a white scrap. I fussy cut them and glued just the bodies on the scenic panel. The sentiment is also from the same retired SU set as the butterflies.
That bench looks so inviting. I just want to sit on it and take a moment, bet the view is gorgeous xx
