Pretty Pansies

Morning crafters, nice and sunny here today after the rain, but still cool for mid May. Nature is doing a wonderful job though, blossom and blooms every where. I could make garden /flower cards all day long.
We gardened yesterday and the wind was so strong it was blowing my bucket containing weeds and prunings out of my hand. My hubby has been looking at houses in Corfu online , now 9 months of lovely warm sun a year , I think I could handle that !

My card is garden inspired of course. The stamp used is from a set of Joanna Sheen stamps , by the artist Jane Shasky, I have her cd rom too, heart of the garden, it's wonderful and I can highly recomend it, I've made lots of cards using it , I will blog them at a later date.
I stamped the image with memento ink London Fog, this pale grey line when coloured blends with the coloured image to give a softer more water coloured look, I like it but would like to know what you think?
I've coloured with promarkers and used blue whispers ink for shading .
The die cuts are Marianne Design and the sentiments are lili of the valley stamps, bought at the show.
The pretty papers are first edition , bird song.

Blooms and blossoms are at last showing themselves Jane, I've just come back from the AHT at Newmarket with Holly and was amazed how things have greened up the last few days. Nature in indeed wonderful.

And you card is a lovely botanical creation.

I didn't know you had stamps to go with the CD too. This one is gorgeous and you have coloured it beautifully. It's a gorgeous card.
Had a real downpour here last night. Won't be able to garden for a bit here now.

Hi Jane it is nice to be able to come visit you again, I didn't realise that you were back from your blogging break, I am afraid I am not blogging as much as I used to. I love this gorgeous card Jane, that image looks so soft and delicate, such lovely colours and design
