How does your garden grow?bouquet

The post for today is another challenge from the Craft Barn's alpha dictionary challenge.

For this challenge, it's the letter 'G', and the idea I had was to feature flowers from a garden.  Making flowers for my cards is one of my favourite things to do and so I dug out some pretty papers to use.  The die set is a set by Spellbinders called Marissa's Bouquet, which produces very pretty simple flowers.  I've probably gone over the top here, but they're perfect for clean and simple cards.

Here's a lovely sample of them from Christine Emberson's blog Creativity Continues.    

And here's my Garden tag:




I took it quite early in the morning and the shadows are evident.  Sorry about that!  The definition (which is part of the challenge) talks about a lawn and flower beds, and cultivated plants for enjoyment.  While I get a lot of enjoyment out of my garden, it's mainly to do with defeating weeds and eradicating snails!

Have a lovely weekend.  I might even get the chance to make a start on the garden for the first time this year.

Have fun.
