Ellibelle's Garden Party No. 2 - Anything in or from a Garden

Hello and welcome to another Garden Party!! So glad you are here! The first party was a great success, thank you all for joining in the fun, it has been wonderful to see all things "Garden" on your blogs and the linky tool gallery full of garden things. Be sure to scroll to the end to see the Top Picks which btw was extremely hard to choose!

Remember, the theme here is always anything Garden related, from or in a garden, this can be cards, scrapbook pages and crafts of any kind along with hobby photography from a garden, garden weddings, garden tea parties, garden tips etc. 

And  here is what I made for this month - Tulips from the Garden.

This cute image is by Penny Black - Tulips for You. I finally purchased a new pack of Xpress it blending card (in my experience the best paper for Copics) so I colored her with Copic markers after stamping with Memento Tuxedo ink. It's a pretty large stamp so I went with a CAS-ish design by adding just a few patterned papers from my scrap box. I mounted the image panel onto matching pink cardstock then another piece of patterned paper. The button sentiment is an oldie from Whimsy Stamps, and I cut it out with the matching die, unfortunately both the sentiment and die are no longer available. I used some jute twine with the button sentiment and added this to the card with foam tape.

Several clusters of purple crocus made a surprise appearance in my garden this year. Last year I only had one single purple bloom along with a white one. Squirrels like to dig up the bulbs so I definitely didn't expect them. Sadly they never bloom for very long and are faded now.
