I've been distracted by other activities, including the gardens but I'm back ! I may not be able to blog as much during the gardening season, but I'll do my best ! Thanks again for all your wonderful support here.
I designed this card for Design's by Ryn using one of her cool Texture Stamps - Patio Stone CM-T6 for the background and African Daisy CM-F1.
I created the background by blending Snickerdoodle, Lettuce & Kiwi Smooch inks over Versamark Ink. Next I stamped 'Design by Ryn's' Patio Stone with Kiwi Smooch (dried with heat gun) and then Bamboo Leaves & Cantaloupe Memento Dye Inks.
This is how the background looked before I added the quote & Flowers.
I stamped the 'create' quote from Chocolate Baroque's Artistic Expressions set with Cocoa Memento Dye Ink directly to the background. I stamped Ryn's African Daisy and embossed with Gold on white paper 3 times. I blended Smooch Inks to color & added some Lime Stickles to the centre, cut them out and attached to the background. Finally I added some leaves created with my newest Crealies Shapes CL CS 12 from the same card stock as the mat.

Hi Shirley, what a gorgeous colour scheme! And those stamps are fab of course! That smooch effect is great as always, enjoy the gardening and warm greet of me, Mirandax
What a gorgeous card Shirley, I love the colours you've used. The patio stone stamp looks great for creating backgrounds, and these dasies look just right sat on the patio that you've created.
Hope you're getting lots done in the garden this weekend. I survived my week away with MIL, but the temps were far from 20s.
