Down in the Garden

I was honoured and delighted to be invited to Guest Design for the Joanna Sheen Challenge,  I absolutely love Joanna's products and the DT cards on the challenge blog are always stunning along with the entries.

This is the card I have made for this fortnights challenge - Down in the Garden.  I was reaching for my Jane Shasky - from the heart of the garden CD, but changed my mind and instead I have used one of the gorgeous images from Ivory Cats, this CD features the paintings of Lesley Anne Ivory:


The base card stock is also from Joanna's shop - unfortunately I think it is now discontinued.  The floral papers are from the CD and the spotty ones are from Bearly Mine Designs - I have inked the edges of the papers to tie them together.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I used the same papers and die cut shape to decorate the inside of my card:


CARD RECIPE:

Image:  Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats CD
Papers:  Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats CD (floral), Bearly Mine Desings Mini Dots
Card Stock:  Joanna Sheen (discontinued)
Tools:  Spellbinders - Scalloped Circle, Standard Circle, Ribbon Banners
Die-namics - Butterfly
Embellishments:  ribbon, button, string and gems from stash
Sentiment:  LOTV - Simply Sophisticated

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 70 - Fur or Feathers
House of Gilli - Use 2 of your favourite things (Butterflies/Gems)
The Crazy Challenge 129 - Spots or Stripes
