I know Sharon has visited Dublin, so while I thought briefly of recreating a Georgian door with fanlight, I decided instead to bring her on a visit to Monet's garden, which we have been lucky enough to visit three times. I'd love to see it in the summer but not sure how one would manage without crowds, except by staying near the village the night before and going first thing.
I made a waterfall card, customising the sizes on the fly. My photos (see my upload on the challenge thread to view them all) are two inches square, black matting, then the pull strip. I shaped the end of that with a Spellbinders label die, and added a fancy fabric brad. I used two more brads to hold the other strip down, after attaching a lacy die-cut. The main layer was embossed with Country Garden and rubbed with luster rub-ons. I added a little silver butterfly to match the ribbon.

OMG this is brilliant Sabrina! The colors are perfect...they're right off a Monet painting. And the waterfall design is so clever to view the garden pictures. WOW...she'll be thrilled to get this tour of Monet's garden.

Lovely ( I haven't done a waterfall card in a coon's age) This inspires me to revisit that tutorial . . . The cardstock you chose is such a beautiful blend of the colors in your garden pics and that embossing on the lilac piece is absolutely gorgeous.
