The very first stamp set that I HAD to buy from the Occasions mini catalog was Scene in a Garden. And do you know what? This is the first time I've inked it up! Ack! Time to get busy and stamp some more cards with this gorgeous stamp set.
I created this card for the sketch challenge on SCS this week. Since the bench is so rustic-looking, I kept the rest of the card in that theme with distressing and sponging. I kept the same colors that I did on my previous card (Ruby Strawberries) because they work so well together.
While stamping the image, I stamped a couple of extra images of the pots. I then watercolored them, let them dry, and cut them out. You can see that I positioned one of the pots lying down on its side, with the next one upright. There are so many possibilities with this bench and all the accessories that go with it. I'm hoping to have lots of free time this weekend to play with this set.

I just love the way you stacked the little pots, then added a couple more to the bench, really tells a story, nice job.

I really like the stacked pots under the bench, it really gives the card a realistic feel which is perfect for the layout and colors.
Coloring on this card is exquisite!
