Potting Shed

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

Hope you are enjoying the change in season. We are 9 days into the summer season and it has been so beautiful here with warm and mostly sunny days. Just what you want for summer weather. Our flower beds are spectacular looking right now. 

And, my hubby's vegetable garden is growing nicely. We had our first harvest of basil, parsley and sugar snap peas yesterday. My hubby sautéed the peas with olive oil and garlic. They were fabulous. He doesn't cook but he loves to when it comes to his garden. Mainly the peas and green beans. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for my hubby for Father's Day. He is an avid gardener and has a potting shed so when I received this Potting Shed die from CottageCutz I knew exactly what I would do with it. So let's get started with some details on my card. 

I hosted the color challenge #793 on Splitcoaststampers, and the colors I chose worked great for the potting shed image. For this challenge you can use neutrals and that includes dark green, so that was in my favor as well.

blueberry bushel, balmy blue, lovely lipstick

The potting shed was cut in the challenge colors plus neutral shades of brown, gray and green. I sponged the flower pot and the watering can with the same color ink as the cardstock to get a deeper shade of blue. Used a cloud stencil for the clouds and lightly sponged the dark green ink for the grass.

I used the stitched sun, clouds & umbrella die for my cloud and stamped the sentiment in blueberry ink. Finished off this card with a few epoxy hearts. My hubby really liked the card when I gave it to him on Sunday. He always likes cards for him when they are personal like this one. 

Well that's it for me for this post. So until next time..........God bless.
