Crazy Gardening Lady by Cynthia Olheiser

Hello Ai fans!

Today is a bittersweet day.  It will be Cynthia's final Guest Designer post (other than her card for week two of our V is for Vacation challenge premiering at noon PST today.)

But...that means we welcome Mercy back next week!

Thank you so much for stepping in and helping us out Cynthia.  Your work is beautiful and has been an inspiration to so many people! We hope you've enjoyed your time here as much as we've enjoyed having you.

I've had such a fun time this month sharing inspiration with Art Impressions stamps.  I would like to say Thank You to Art Impressions for allowing me to join them this month!  Today I would like to share a  summer card featuring Gotta Garden Set 5000.

The summer growing season is short in Alaska.  My husband and I take full advantage of the extended summer daylight and plant both vegetables and flowers.  We never know what will flourish each year, but we enjoy the process regardless.  

I stamped the image onto X-Press It card stock with Versa Clair black ink then embossed with clear powder.  Copic markers were used to color the image then die cut with Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle die cuts.

The image panel was adhered with dimension tape to designer papers from Echo Park Homegrown paper pad.  Twine and a coordinating sentiment complete the 4.5 square card.
