A Garden Carried In Your Pocket

Its February already, where does the time go? This month at Gingersnap Creations it's "Tell it like it is" with a focus on faux techniques. This week's challenge is GC137: Words of Wisdom. The month is being sponored by Rouge Redhaed Designs. They have such pretty stamps. Check them out. Well my words of wisdom are about reading and gardening. I have always had a book in my hand and love gardening. They are my favorite things to do, so when I saw this quote. I knew I had to use it!

So this card is a my take on a faux watercolor technique. I used Photoshop on some rose  photos I took. awhile ago. I fussy cut  a big rose out and layered it with tulle netting  and green braid trim. The stamped  came next "A book is like a garden carried in your pocket." The little reading girl is stamped watercolored and fussy cut too. Both stamps are from the Relish Reading RougeRedhead Designs RRD001 sheet. Some rhinestones  in each corner and  a touches of Stickles add the glitter bits.

I am also entering this for a new challenge for me the PanPastel#3 Glitter and Glitz.

Hope you will get to read a new book this week.
artfully yours, gerri
