Gardening Grandad!


Hi all! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend! It's beautiful down here near Portsmouth today, warm & sunny, so I've managed to get outside & do some gardening. 3 lawns to cut, weeds to kill & trimming back of unruly shrubs, and now the garden looks lovely bathed in the afternoon sun! Roll on summer! With gardening in mind, here's a card for a gardening grandad (or granny-just change the sentiment & colours!) I've had this gardening themed paper for yonks and this was the perfect card to use it on. I added a panel of green checked paper onto which I adhered a piece of leaf-effect ribbon. I cut out a circle which I decorated with 'grass' & teeny flowers. I added a sign with a safmat sentiment, a gorgeous watering can which I enhanced with tiny perforations made with a dressmakers wheel, and of course the sentiment.
Carts used:
Circle & shadow- George
Sign- George
Sentiment- Don Juan
Watering can- Disney's Happily Ever After
Grass- Plantin Schoolbook
Thanks for dropping by!
Heather
