Another Autumn Card and End of Summer Garden Photos

Sorry for the strange layout of this post - I just can't figure it out :o)

Happy Weekend! This is a picture-heavy post. I wanted to save some photos of my garden for me and added them to this post. But here is another autumn themed card for the September Hero Arts challenge first:

Somehow the colors don't look as vibrant as in real life. I created that background with various distress inks spritzed with water. Onto that background I stamped the Old Letter Writing and the maple leaf from the Leaf Prints set. The sentiment is from the Birthday Sayings set. I die-cut the large leaf from acetate and inked it with various alcohol inks.

Now some photos of our garden this summer:

Waterdroplets on sweet peas

Pompoms from the party decoration of my girl's birthday

Some pottery I made a few years ago and a fun little grashopper on the marigold

Lavender in front of the marigold and larkspur:

The harvest of one morning and a beautiful butterfly

Ok, that's it for today! I'll be back on Tuesday at the latest, then it is time for another new, fabulous Vinnie Pearce Collection! Don't miss it!

Thanks for visiting today and have a sunny weekend!!

Hugs,

Vanessa
