Nurture

Continuing what I started yesterday, I have another card that qualifies for a few of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges over on Splitcoaststampers this week. I was catching up on my Google Reader when I saw the new releases from Flourishes and got inspired to pull out my pretty Flourishes stamps!  I used From My Garden for this card which qualifies for:

DTGD10tayloredexpressions - sketch
DTGD10AmberDawn01 - texture (the twill tape)

DTGD10DeborahLynneS - paper piecing (the gloves)

DTGD10debdeb - stitching

DTGD10melmel - Gardening

DTGD10notimetostamp - passionate for pattern 

Ok, so most of them are obvious right?  You can see the sketch, the paper piecing, the stitching, the texture with the twill tape and the gardening theme.  The patterned paper - well I hope I'm ok on that one.  I used 2 patterns from October Afternoon, but the 3rd piece is a copy of an old wild flower text book that I have.  It came from my great-uncle's library and I can't bear to cut it up so I just scanned one of the pages and printed it out.  That counts as patterned paper right?

We were working out in our yard yesterday and hopefully will be today also - trying to "take back" some of our yard that is being swallowed up by the woods and weed growth - ha ha!  We built a fire pit last night and the children had so much fun toasting hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire! The joys of summer . . . I hope you are enjoying them too! :)
