In the garden


Another month flown by and another Penny Black and More challenge for the month of August. This time the challenge is "In the garden". I think this is a nice and easy challenge so get out your craft stash and make a card for this month's challenge. There are several prizes up for grabs as usual and you have almost 4 weeks to enter. All the details are on the PB blog and you can use the link above to check them out.
I made my card as Summery as I could using the "Mimi and friend" Penny Black stamp, lovely Roses, floral and leaf die cuts, butterflies, buttons and to finish off, a Birthday sentiment. I also added some faux stitching and I am really happy with the result.
I have entered my card into several challenges listed below.
