Scene in a Garden for SSSC

First of all, I need to say of HUGE thank you to the design team at ColourQ for crowning me Queen this week. It was a super boost for me to be chosen. Thank you!! And to all the ladies that left such sweet comments, thank you, too. It was really fun to do this this past week. :>

Karen Giron has another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this week, and I knew immediately what stamp set I was going to use. (Isn't it funny how that just happens sometimes?)

This summer, the kids and I have been working hard in the garden. Picking and canning green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic. The combination of those colors excite me for some reason. They are so earthy and yummy, so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to create a card saying "good-bye" to my garden.

Here is what I came up with:

Lately, for some reason, I have really enjoyed adding dimension to my cards. By adding another cut-out piece of pumpkins and terra cotta pots, it just added so much more than a 2-dimensional card. It just makes certain elements of the card stand out, and I like that. I also made a giant mistake, so I tried to peel off the old olive piece, but disappointedly, it crinkled. I kinda liked that, too, so I went with it and then roughed up the edges even more. I thought the rafia along the edge gave it that fall, "harvesty" feel, too.

Hope you enjoy your day today!! And thanks for stopping by.

TTFN,
Debi
