Garden Bench

Happy Thursday all!
I hope your week is going well!
I've been mad busy these last few days both at work & at home!
 So, it's now time for my latest Just Inklined card!


The image I have used for this one is the beautiful & serene
Garden Bench one of the images exclusive to 
The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD Rom
This card is for a dear friend who just loves her garden!
As I was making it, I couldn't get a song out of my head!
English Country Garden
My mum & I used to sing it when I was young!


I coloured the image with....wait for it..... water colour pencils! 
I've had these for ages but not played with them much!
I have to say, I like the effect acheived with just a few different colours.
The papers I have used are from my stash, not sure where they
are from but Ii I was to guess, I'd say they were Papermania


The corners are cut with a sizzix die.
Not really my thing but I've also added a few little roses from my stash!
You can just about see I have decorated the inside too!
Thanks for popping in, I hope you like it!
I do love it when you come to call!
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

    Love this card Dawn, and a great result with the watercolour pencils. The little flowers set the whole thing off perfectly, and ah yes, I remember singing that song too x

    Gorgeous card Dawn. Obviously you have this cd as do I, but just in case your followers are interested, did you know that LaPashe have this on sale at the moment reducing it's normal price of £19.99 to a mind boggling price of just £1.99 !!!!! OMG thats so much more than a bargain - it's insane!! :)

    Love the softness that the watercolour pencils give the gorgeous image. It seems so fitting. The die cut corners are very pretty and suit the English garden theme as do the lovely flowers in the cluster. So fun to include the music. Thanks for joining our Happy Birthday challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I hope we see you again soon.
