"In My Garden" is the theme for today's Wednesday Stamper, and the unique visitor to my garden is a stamp by Close To My Heart. Also used are bird and twig stamps from Cavallini & Co., and a grass stamp from Crafty Secrets. Rub-on butterfly is from Anna Griffin and text is a 7 Gypsies rub-on. The background is a salt and watercolor technique for which there is an excellent tutorial on Godelieve's blog, StampingMathilda.
Last but not least, A big THANK YOU! to all my blogging buddies! I have reached 10,000 page views and more than 1000 comments in less than 6 months of blogging! You people are incredible! I love you all! On my left sidebar, there is a new photo album titled "For My Friends". Please feel free to help yourself to the 3 vintage photos in that album- - personal use, only. Thank you again! You are so appreciated!!
Love this, that cow is great.

Fabulous background. Never tried that.
Yes it was deliberate to kill my plant my landlord apologised but i had spent over £20 & refused to do so again.The worker did it because I refused to go out with him.

Barbara - thanks for the link to the tutorial! Lovely work as ever, inparticular, I love that bird/twigs image. Cuttlebug have just brought out a bird/swirls embossing folder which I'm craving! My soil is lovely, but the darned slugs eat everything I plant, so I've all but given up as I just can'r kill things... a Pagan with Buddhist tendencies - LOL!
