I don’t actually have a garden… Winking smile but I do have a yard and I do have lots of pots and containers, which this year are filled with lots of tomato plants, fuchsias, herbs, lavender, clematis and other delightful plants…

This week’s stamping has been garden related – no surprise, really.

Another purple, aqua and lime card for the Stamp Ink Paper challenge. (Sadly, closed…)

PURPLE AQUA LIME 2

A ‘Just Because’ card because I happened upon these stamps… I can remember how much I NEEDED this ‘Artists’ Signatures’ background stamp and I haven’t used it in years, so I intend to put that right… the flowers are from Unity Stamps.

SUNSHINE 2

Using the same (PB) words with some TH flowers,, a very different card…

CREATE YOUR OWN SUNSHINE 1

This one uses just a section of one of my biggest stamps… a lovely (ten years or more) old  ‘Stamp Out Cute’ collage stamp.

ART SUNFLOWER

and not in a garden, but for fun… another stamp I’ve had for a lot of years…

QUIRKY SELF

…and my entry for Addicted to Stamps Black & White Challenge…  a little like another one I did.

I'm with you about inking up the oldie but goodie rubber stamps and I need to do more, but lately there's been so little time
Have a great weekend.

So many beautiful cards. And I disagree-if you have plants in pots you do have a garden! Sometimes those are the best kinds of gardens too. happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
