I stamped a variety of images from the Storybook Garden Patch stamp set onto scrap Basic White card. These were die cut using the Storybook Garden Patch dies and coloured in using the following Blends Pens – Dark Calypso Coral, Light & Dark Petunia Pop, Light & Dark Pool Party, Light Lost Lagoon, Light & Dark Pretty Peacock, Light & Dark Old Olive before being added to decorate the card.
A trio of pretty pearls finished the card.
