I spent some time in my gardens last week pulling the weeds that seem to grow from nowhere! My garden is my second happy place, my stamp studio ranks number one. I love listening to the birds &watching the butterflies in my garden this time of year, how about you? I find it so relaxing watching them flutter weightlessly from flower to flower as if they were moving to a melody. I am so happy to also see more bees in the garden this year than last and discovered that our neighbor behind us is a bee keeper! I will be planting more flowers next year to attract them too! I was so happy to see several bee keepers in the area but really happy to find one in our backyard. I use raw honey as a sweetener and visit our towns Farmers Market to purchase local honey several times a year.
Spending time in the garden inspired me to create a card with our Papillon Potpourri & Everything Eleanor stamp sets. Another look at one of the patterns in our English Garden Designer Series paper brought me back to the garden. This card uses a basic card layout and is so simple to create.
I used Blushing Bride, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, and Marina Mist for my color palette. The Modern Mosaic embossing folder gave the feel of a garden trellis. The “Hello” comes from the Endless Birthday Wishes set, this set is a must! If it isn’t on your Wish List yet be sure to put it on it because I am finding it a go to set for sayings.
I hope you spend some time outdoors enjoying watching butterflies in the gardens around you. I know you will find it relaxing and inspiring.
Til we meet again,
