The pop of yellow from the sunflowers really stands out on this pretty in pink garden card. I love all the layers of dies with different frames, the garden gate, and tag, they really create loads of dimension. I spotted this idea on the Brass and Bliss Instagram page.
A darling bunny is stopping to smell the flowers on this lovely card. He and the stamps flowers are colored with watercolor markers and there’s extra texture from ribbon, die cut shapes and dry embossed leaves in Tiffany blue. Find all the details on the Unity Stamps blog.
This little mouse is having fun in her little garden. I adore the scene Elena created with a soft ink blended background, tiny die cut clouds, bold title and all the stamped gardening images. Take a closer look at the Lawn Fawn blog.

The lattice die is the perfect background on this beautiful garden card from Isha. A sweet stamped butterfly is stopping by to check out the heat embossed flowers and die cut strawberries and leaves. Take a closer look at the Sunny Studio blog.
Christine used dies to create her wonderful garden scene card. There’s a fence, big flowers, bold butterfly, gold sentiment and even a fun shaker element in the back. The gold accents and shaker pieces add a touch of shimmer and shine. Learn more at the Trinity Stamps blog.
I love Alice in Wonderland so I flipped when I came across this Queen of Hearts card from Elaine! She used stamps from Stamping Bella for this scene card with the Queen standing outside of her rose garden looking ready to chop some heads. Watch her Copic coloring tutorial on the Marker Geek blog.
Lots of wonderful little insects and a hummingbird are visiting the lovely flowers on this card from Carol. Notice how she added the blue color around the edges of the stamped and die cut images, it matches the inked and embossed background seamlessly without the white borders.
