A Walk in the Garden

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday!! 
 Today I have some exciting news to share as well as a card.

A short while back I had to step down from a few design teams because my calendar had just gotten too busy and I didn't feel it was fair to leave them hanging if I couldn't keep up with their schedules.  WELL, after a bit of coaxing from a friend, and the fact it was one card a month requirement, I decided to apply for a spot on the team.  Low and behold I received an email asking me to join the team ... and the challenge blog I'm referring to is:  FUSSY and FANCY!  
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge
The new challenge is hosted by Diane and the theme she has chosen is
A WALK IN THE GARDEN
(your interpretation ... flowers, critters, butterflies, bees ... even veggies qualify)

We have a special  gift voucher this week for one lucky winner and it is to:
Here's what I came up with . . .

I decided to create using this beautiful image I found on Pinterest.
I love flowers so walking through any type of flower garden is so exciting for me.  In fact, when Mark & I were booking our excursions for our cruise a few weeks back, one stop had a walking tour through the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. and he knew I'd want to see it so booked that particular excursion right away.  I will share a few photos at the end of my post.  It was BEAUTIFUL!

 How much more beauty is just beyond that gate do you think??


I actually had this Heartfelt Creations corner die cut laying on my work table and it just screamed out to be added to this peaceful image.

A few little pink posies are all that was needed for a little extra dimension and sparkle.  Yep there is white glitter on the liquid pearls centers ... hard to see in the photo I know.  


The Impression Obsession 'sending smiles' die cut was also laying on the table and called out to me at the last minute.  And, how excited was I to discover this Memory Box 'Fanciful Fences' die mimicked the one in the photo almost perfectly. 

Please be sure to pop over to the challenge blog and take a peek at what the DT has created to inspire you!  A very talented group of ladies!!  And then come join in the fun!  One lucky winner will receive a NOOR DESIGNS gift voucher!  Good Luck!
