Using the Hostess Stamp - From the Garden

Using the Stampin Up hostess stamp ' From the Garden' (which is massive!) i stamped onto textured canvas and watercoloured the image (which i must admit is absolutely beautiful image), then rounded the corners, inked around the edges, layered onto some green card and then layered onto some more card which i used Cuttlebug swiss dots to emboss. For the sentiment, 'Delight in Life' Stampin up stamp and made some flowers (which look blue - but are actually purple!) added some diamondy things to the centres and along the side and Voila! 1 card...


This is actually the insert to the above card (might have been able to get away with saying it was another card id made? what ya reckon? .... nah thought not! lol)
anyhow... nestability petals and some more flowers, glittered the middle with glitter glue and added matching sentiment as the front.
