I made the background with the Stamps by Ryn Maidenhair Fern stencil. I then overstamped with a Just Rite fern stamp using distress ink. I think the sentiment is from Hero Arts. I finished off with a couple of K & Co stick on butterflies.
It has been a really busy month in the garden. Last year I wanted to make some plant labels for the veg beds, but one thing and another got in the way of much progress. This year armed with a new Sizzix Bigz set of alphabet dies, I tried again. My OH cut me some wood which I first painted with acrylic paint. I stuck on the die cuts with two coats of outdoor Mod Podge. I will see how they weather before I make more for other areas of the garden, but I am quite pleased with the result.
I hope wherever you are, life is blossoming for you!

loving the card and the plant labels x
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, this is lovely and great combi using Ryn's stench and the fern stamp! Hope you are fine and wish life is also blossoming for you! How is your creative voyage going? Exploring new things? xx Miranda
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, love the layered look that you have achieved with the stencil and fern stamp. The olive green is a lovely contrast to the butterflies, and the overall card is so pretty. Your plant labels are fab, I hope that they withstand the weather, as you garden would look super with these dotted about. Judith xx
ReplyDeleteThe greens with the pops of orange on the butterflies is very striking - but then so is your blog background!! I like your cluster of 3 comprising the sentiment & 2 butterflies & how your sentiment is balanced by the large butterfly within the cluster itself. Like Judith I hope your plant labels withstand the weather successfully for they really are cheery.

Another gorgeous design, I love the butterflies and the background. I see the Maiden Hair Fern again in the background, it's one of my favorites. Hugs, Shirleyxx
