I haven't had a computer for a few days, so everyday when there was a challenge, I lay out the colors, lay out the sketch, lay out my favorite stamp set, and today made my card including our Free 4 All to make a card with something from the garden! I didn't realize I used 4 of the challenges until just now as I uploaded it! I did flip the sketch sideways because my dictionary goes up and down. The special paper you see is just white, but when you sponge over it the white leaves or pattern shows through. So I stamped the dictionary in Island Indigo over the white paper, then sponged the Pool Party over that, and the flowers appear! Pretty neat.
Thank You for looking.

Wow Sharon, that is really cool how you did the background. At first I thought the leaves were die cuts adhered to the text paper. How cool is that!That is such a sweet image too, of the little girl watering the flowers.

Fabulous card incorporating all those challenges! The background is full of interest (love that resist patterned paper). I also love the pretty strip of crocheted lave and the sweet little gardener.

Computer problems are not fun, I hope you're fixed for good now. Sharon, this is beautiful! I love the emboss resist paper, the beautiful lace and the contrast between the blue and deep plum - and your colouring of the sweet image.

Oh my goodness this is amazing! I love the image you used, I have not used that image in so long. This set was one of my favorites when it came out and I was expecting and hoped that I would have a girl so I could use it. Alas I had a boy and so did all of my siblings until my sister finally had a girl so I rarely get to make girly cards with only 1 niece. Thankfully my nephew had two girls so I am hoping to get to use this set more. Amazing card with so many wonderful challenges!!!!! Thank you for playing along and bringing a favorite.

Very pretty! Love the touch of lace. And what a creative way to put your cards together... even when you don't have time. I will have to remember that. Creative Blessings!

Fabulous! Such a cute image; I have that exact stamp set on my desk at the moment, so your card caught my eye. Excellent take on the all the challenges. Love how you did the background. It gives me another idea on how to use that paper. Thanks! Terrific take on the sketch. Love the crocheted trim. Lovely sentiment. Nicely done with the colors. Fabulous garden card. Well done. TFS
