In the Garden

Over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge last week, the challenge is was "In the Garden"  I love my Penny Black stamps especially my Critter stamps.  I had fun with a little Hedgie lying in a bed of flowers.



Don't you just love the bright flowery PP I used for the background.  It is from a magazine so is really shiny and bright. I took the sketch from City Crafter's Challenge Blog, turned it on it's side.  As I like to do, I coloured my Hedgie with Distress inks and an aqua brush.  The flowers are more yellow in real life, not so washed out as the photo shows.  The sentiment is also from the same PB set.  My little piece of grid at bottom is washi tape.  Love how transparent this tape is.

And here's a peek into my garden over the weekend...

The autumn flowers are looking really good and the Hydrangeas are just keeping on going and going.  But do excuse the lawn.... it's in the process of being re-seeded and over-sown. 

That's me for the night... It's getting late and I am quite tired... but a bit of a sleep in tomorrow as I have a visit to the skin specialist at 9.00am tomorrow for my annual skin checkup.... and then to work.  Usually in the office by 7.30am so it will be nice to stay tucked up in bed for a little longer!
