In the Garden


This is my design team contribution to the Clarity Challenge blog

The theme is in the garden.





 I didn't really know where to start with this challenge.  I don't have the garden set so my first thought was to do  a garden scene looking through the window at the bird table  but it didn't look right as the perspective was all wrong .  I thought about putting the bird table in this garden but that didn't work perspective wise either so in the end this is what I came up with.  The trees in the background started life as the twig from the bird song set and dressed with some leaves that come with the split tree set  the path and pavement are hand drawn
The little girls are part of the meadow dance set as they seemed to be just the right size! so with a bit of masking off I managed to just get two of them.  I didn't want "fluffy" clouds in the sky so I used a piece of torn paper.

Its a brilliant card Linda and proves that you don't need a specific Garden stamp set to do a card on the garden theme. Well done! xx

This is such a clever card Linda. What a good idea to use the twig stamp with leaves. The little girls dancing n the garden are perfect. X

Wishing to be that young and carefree on a beautiful sunny day. That's the way your card Linda makes me feel. Well done, a true piece of art to make the viewer imagine themselves as part of it.
