In the Garden

Today brings a new challenge at Marianne Design Diva's, and this months challenge is 

"In The Garden", so to create my card which is a 7.5 inch x 7.5 inch, I enlarged one of my papers from the Designer Extreme Cd's to fit the card, I then chose a couple of the Hanglar Stanglar stamps which I haven't used in ages and masked them together. I cut it out to fit the Square Frame which is laid over some gold card, and beneath that is a sheet of paper from the La Pastisserie paper bloc. I stamped out a couple butterflies from the Birdhouse Home Stamp set as well as the birdhouse which I stamped on kraft cardstock then used the matching die for it. The lovely bird up top on the branch fit in nicely to hang the birdhouse from using a chain and a couple jump rings.

Down in the lower left I diecut the wheelbarrow and watering can out of some copper cardstock, the embossing of it really shows through with this cardstock. The corners were cut out of gold cardstock and you can really see the embossing on them too.

We've got two great prizes that you could win. Both of them are surprize packages. First up is one from

and the second one is from Marianne herself
