I was very honoured to be asked by TGiF a little while ago to be guest artist for the challenge this week. The theme is The Secret Garden, and this was my result using the blossoms from Crafty Individuals (CI206). The branches are from part of a Stampers Anonymous stamp.
Photographing the acetate card was difficult as the light has been so poor recently so I came up with a few different settings.
Below is an passage taken from the book The Secret Garden which inspired the feel for the card.
I hope you find a little time to join in with the theme :0)))
