Good morning all, a bit of a mixed bag weatherwise, rain earlier on, now it is cloudy but quite warm. Today's card, it's that long since I took a photo of it I really have to think. Blank topper and stamps-Kanban, coloured with Promarkers, background a touch of Pan Pastels, Spodgeaway mask used for border and framework, anchor and compass Kanban, sentiment from stash, one of my UIU bags!
I have put some more garden photos on too.
Paving and slate gravel finished,a bit of tidying to do I think.
These stones are some of the ones that were dug up, and are going to be used in a little rockery in this corner.
The chimenea looks lost in that corner, will have to get a bigger one for next year. Bird feeder back in place, I hope the birds haven't moved to pastures new. An apple on the floor to encourage the blackbirds.
Paving at the back door, just look at all our garden shoes just dumped there, but we dashed out to move this, help with that, they had a permanent spot near the back door.
This is the barbecue built from some off the bricks that were dug up.
Well that's it for today folks, I am going to make some celery and butter bean soup for lunch, and then it is back to planting bulbs, there are times when I regret buying a box of 200, but I know it will be worth it in spring, if the squirrels don't dig them up first! Take care.

ReplyDeleteLove your card Carol, cards for men are my worst nightmare and we seem to have so many men in the family(didn't help by having three sons - one of whom has a male partner!) Your garden is looking wonderful, hope the bulbs survive! Look forward to seeing you crafting out there next summer!! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWow! Brilliant card Carol. Love the swirls of blue using the pan pastels for the sky. Very effective. Looks like it was great fun to put together.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Carol .... "Surprise" .... "Found you"
ReplyDeleteWell have to confess I got a link to you from Flora ... Crafty Lark
What a fantastic job you are making of your wonderful garden. I is going to be absolutely terrific. Know what you mean about the slabs looking better when wet, we are the same. However we really don't want rain all the time do we??? Just give them a wetting with the garden hose, stand back and admire!!!
Great card I like that very much.
Have a great weekend
