Garden girl

Hello lovely people,

Finally I am back with the last of my belated DT cards and it is of course time for a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and our theme this month is...

IN THE GARDEN

Now we are a monthly challenge we have a whole lot of loveliness to give away with FIVE prizes up for grabs this time from...





I got a couple of new Stamping Bella images recently and this one fit the bill perfectly.  It is intended for my Sister-in-law's birthday at the end of the month but shhhh, don't tell her!



This is a really lovely big image so I left the rest of the card sweet and simple with just a couple of flowers, a hint of seam binding and twine and my fave tiny tags!
