In the Garden - Garden Swing Card with Large Frame

The 'In the Garden' Groovi plates, designed by Linda Williams, have been made into stamps.  I was lucky enough to have a chance to play with some of the new sets.  This is the sample I made with the Garden Swing stamps and mask.

Trim a piece of Clarity stencil card to 6.75” x 6.75”. Use the 5.25” nested square picot die to cut a panel from the centre. Use the 3.75” nested square picot die to cut a further topper.

Stamp the large foliage from the Linda Williams In the Garden - Garden Swing stamp set into the corner of the smaller topper in Peat Moss archival ink.

Add the garden swing in Watering Can archival ink.

Add the smaller corner foliage in the same ink as before.

Add the Serenity & Joy sentiment into the bottom left corner in Black Soot archival ink.

Colour the foliage and garden swing with Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer water colour pencils, blended out with a large watercolour brush pen.

Add three of the foliage stamps along the top of the frame using Peat Moss archival ink.

Add the gate and fence along the bottom in Watering Can archival ink. Add the flowers in the opposite corner in the same ink and the larger lantern next to the fence.

Colour the frame in the same manner as the topper

and add the frame and topper to the front of a 7” x 7” black card blank.

To finish, add a couple of Barbara’s word stickers.
