Gardening days

Well as Tuesdays are crafting at Jacqueline's days, that's where I was this morning when I started my male inspired card.

It's for the Make My Monday challenge, where the theme is MEN AND BOYS with added MALE SPORTS OR HOBBIES

Here is what I came up with 

The wheelbarrow and its contents are separate stamps which I coloured with Pro markers and SU Write Markers. I then cut them out, stuck them together, and water coloured the background before matting it and placing it on some card stock with the die cut vines bordering it.

Recipe :

Card = Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, and card base from my stash

Stamps = Flower Soft and Verve

Inks = Basic Black, Bashful Blue, TH Tea Dye, and various SU Write Markers and Pro Markers

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Marianne design vine, and Stamp-a-ma-jig

I will be giving this to my friend's partner on his birthday, as he spends hours pottering around on his allotment, regardless of the weather!!! so when you see this Rita, don't tell Bill.

In my last post I mentioned the sculpture that Nathan had made for me, and I know how you've all been waiting to see this masterpiece, so here it is.                                                  Jacqueline came up with a great idea to hang bird feeders off it, and I think that's what I'll do. The only problem is keeping Monty away from it as he keeps stealing it and wants to gnaw on it!!! 



We had a great day yesterday with Sophies first Birthday, we walked the dogs in the woods ( well I went as far as I could and then returned to the car to wait for the adventurers to return!!!), flew a kite, had a picnic, then opened and played with presents, ate too much cake, and then went for a pub meal in the evening............no wonder I dont want to do too much today!!

Anyway, thanks for dropping by, and hope you can come back again soon
