Garden Tools for Simply Sweet Stamps

Hello lovely peeps

I've got a gardening theme card for you today using the Blooming Lovely digi stamp set by Simply Sweet Stamps.

Vegetable Patch for LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

 Just a quick post from me today to show you a card I made using one of the Simply Print images from Lili of the Valley, this one is Vegetable Patch.

I've matted and layered it with papers I got at the Farnborough show in February - Potting Shed by Craftwork Cards. I roughened the edges with scissors and inked them with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I die-cut the stars with X-Cut and Crafters Companion dies and the welly boots were cut from one of the papers. The tags were stamped with Sentiment Tags and Family Sentiment Tags by LOTV.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
 Crafting By Designs For a man
Little Red Wagon #385 Tag It
Creative Inspirations #270 use LOTV
The Male Room #56 Use wood (I've used wood paper)
The Ribbon Girls March any card (used jute ribbon & twine)
The Crazy Challenge #244 Masculine

Pots of love

Hello lovely peeps.

As promised, I am showing you some competition entries this week.

For my first card I used the Pots of Love stamp from Lili of the Valley, coloured in with Promarkers and GraphIts. The sentiment comes with it, and I've used this to make a plant label. You may recognise the leaves from my previous post, though these don't have so much ink on them. 

The watering can was made by cutting grey pearlescent card with a Sizzix die and edging it with orange gilding wax to make it look rusty. I've finished off with cord, buttons and ribbons from my stash.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Afternoon peeps, and a warm welcome to my new followers :)

I made this to sell at the summer fayre last week since I've heard that *some* people are into gardening. Definitely does not include me. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a nice garden as much as the next person. But the back ache, broken nails and face full of spiders are not for me.

The topper is from the Vintage Boys Art Pad and the green paper is from the Heartfelt 8x8 Paper Pad ,both by LOTV. I've stamped carrots on the pale brown paper with a Woodware stamp and brown Memento ink.

The lettering is done with Retro alphabet stamps (My Sentiments Exactly) onto white card with doodled edges. The skeleton leaves and ribbon are from my stash, the bark is from an old pot-pourri packet!

I used my cinch to punch the holes & bind the book together.
