In the Garden

Sorry I am a bit late with my ATC for the Stamp Man, but yesterday I went back to work, just a casual  day, no children in, only staff but I have files I need to go through today so I decided to bring them home rather than go in as it takes me 55 minutes to get there in the car.


Here is my ATC for the garden theme, I used the watercolour technique for the background and just added the little butterflies and a sentiment. I chose autumnal colours as we now seem to be at that point when the leaves are just starting to turn - how sad. I have entered this into the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog hop.

Supplies
Stamps - TH artful flight, shabby french, mini clear stamps from QVC
DIs - shabby shutters, peeled paint, bundled sage

If you are an ATC lover why not pop over to the ATC swap blog and take part. we look forward to seeing your creations.

Enjoy the weekend, the sun is shining at the moment - so long may it last and we have a 60th birthday celebration to attend tomorrow night for my friend Yvonne. I decided I would give her the travel tag card I made and posted last week.

Take care.

luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox

    This is beautiful Brenda. I have never made ATC's.
    We had a good holiday. I can't wait to start playing with the goodies I bought. But I have had to do some gardening first!

    Wow! this is gorgeous Brenda. Love the rich Autumn colours and the butterflies. Lovely sentiment too!

    Yes it's starting to look and feel a bit Autumny, but I sat out in the garden today and it was quite nice! The sun was warm and air was fresh - just how I like it! :-))

    Have a lovely weekend!
