Gardening Fun

Good morning, it's Thursday again and time for a new challenge at Willow Sketchie.  A big thank you to everyone who entered last weeks challenge and followed either my sketch or theme, we had so many wonderful entries, I do hope you will all join us again for this weeks challenge hosted by Lisa.

This is the card I have made this week:


I have followed Lisa's fab sketch - some of the elements have been re-sized:



and also the theme for this week which is:

HANDMADE FLOWERS

Don't forget, you can either follow the sketch and/or the theme, unless of course you feel like using both.

For my card I used the fab 'Colin in the garden' digital stamp and I coloured it with a combination of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front:
