The Card Concept - How Does Your Garden Grow

This week's theme for The Card Concept is How Does Your Garden Grow and we have a truly gorgeous inspiration pic for you for challenge #174:

As much as I love flowers in a garden (although sadly, my current abode doesn't have any), what I have always enjoyed more is watching and listening to the birds that come to visit. They're a delight to see and hear as they flit among the trees or scour the front lawn after a spot of rain. So birds in the garden were the inspiration for my mixed media card.

I gave my card a subtle floral background with some stencilling and texture paste.

Materials used:

• stamps - Sentiment Strips 2 (Altenew)
• stamp/die/stencils - Songbirds on Branches (Pinkfresh Studios)
• card - basic white, smoky slate, Bermuda bay
• Altenew inks - frayed leaf, forest glades, evergreen (leaves); citrus burst, fresh lemon, volcano lake, lagoon (birds)
• other - double stitched circle die (Poppycraft), craft foam, Dimensionals, textture paste (Ranger), Florals stencil (Tim Holtz), spatula, Big Shot, Stamparatus, hickory smoke archival ink

As always, there's plenty more inspiration for you over on The Card Concept blog. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Kerry
