The Garden Bench

Hello everyone,

I created this card for the challenge at The Shabby  Tea Room with the theme “Pink lemonade”.  The challenge is to create a card with the inspiration photo in mind and the colours pink, green, neutrals and flowers. Unfortunately between my stamps there wasn’t a single stamp matching the theme of lemonade so I opt for my Cottage Cutz die “Garden Bench” to create a rose garden scene.

My card fits the following challenges:

• The Shabby  Tea Room Week #66 (ends 06/20) – Pink Lemonade
• Totally Gorjuss Challenge #85 (ends 06/25) – Pearls and Swirls
• Craft 4 Eternity Recipe#24 (ends 06/24) – Embellishment R  (Roses)
• Anything Goes Challenge #43 (ends 06/28) – Here comes Summer
• Charisma Cardz Challenge #24 (ends 06/23) – Pink and Green
• Crafting for All Seasons Challenge #3 (ends 06/29) – Summer
• Southern Girls Challenge #21 (ends 06/30) – Anything Goes
• Make It Monday Linky Party #42 (ends 06/27)  – Create, Share, Inspire

Here is my take on the challenges:
