Evening peeps!
I couldn't wait to join in with this week's Copic Colour Challenge when I saw the lovely colours that had been chosen. I don't think you would obviously think of putting Acid Yellow, Mint Green and Brick Beige together, but they really work! Actually, the hardest task for me was finding some papers to match in, but then I found these from the Basic Grey Offbeat collection and was away!
I hope you like the flower and leaf stamps. I'm always browsing through the rubba on Ebay and recently came across this duo. I didn't realise until they arrived in the post that they are made by Dawn Bibby - a bargain methinks for under a fiver!! Why do I have such a thing for flowers and leaves? I wonder if it's because, in real life, I do love my garden. I have a passion flower and an early clematis to show you very soon. The buds are out and they'll soon be in full bloom. I'm very proud of what we've achieved in the five years since we moved in to this house, as the garden was a total jungle. I just wish I'd taken before and after photos but this never happened. It's still a work in progress as it's huge, but we're not far off now. Chris built a gorgeous gazebo last year but the rain hampered our enjoyment of it a bit. Do you remember how wet last summer was?! Let's hope for a bit more sun this year heh?
Sorry, I totally digressed from the card then, lol! I'll love you and leave you for now, but I will return tomorrow with my Basic Grey DT card.

Hiya I love this card and the colours really do work well together and the flowers and leaves are perfect.
I also love my garden and since I have been retired can pay much more attention to it. Unfortunately it is only small but it is my little haven. I think we crafter's pick up a lot of inspiration and ideas from our gardens.

Oh Tara I just love how your card turned out. It's so pretty. Those huge flowers stamps worked out really well in this card. I just stunning. I love clemantic and passionflowers. You can talk about flowers all day and I'd never bore.
Here in northern BC where I'm currently living the snow just melted. We are so far behind. So when you say flowers I'm all ears.
Have a great day,
Take care,
Paola
Fab Tara honey, your colouring is fantastic and great choice of papers. (Tab is right BG always have the colour you want somewhere). My 3 colours are sat on the table looking at me - it's the yellow ugh! Still that's what challenges are about - isn't it?
How come your passion flower is in bud - mine doesn't flower until September - and don't say I don't talk to them - I swear at them daily!!!
