MMTPT232 was to make a garden card based on a John Denver song and the floral teapot (tulips). This card is for Sherry who nopt only lost her husband in an accident last year, but was also injured herself and is still struggling with the health issues caused by the accident.
My stamps are from a set I bought on e-bay a long time ago and they were from Taiwan and had no name on them. It's a lovely set of floral stamps and I don't use them often enough. I stamped them in wild wasabi and also stamped each stamp on a piece of computer paper and fussy cut then for masks and then stamped a garden. I coloured the flowers with prismacolor pencils and sponged the sky behind, then cut the top edges.

I love cutaway borders like that! And what a lovely traditional English cottage garden border you've created with the hollyhocks and lupins - so pretty!
