Hi everyone, sorry I've not been around, I will try to visit asap. Anyway, I had my son's 48th birthday card to make. Being under the weather and lacking mojo, I used a freebie digital card, which was made smaller for a 6x6inch card, and cut each layer image with Silhouette. Although I did change one of the sentiments to Dear Son. It was his interests and I thought it appropriate for him. Thankfully, he thought it was good. I added another layer of the front to the left of the insert, and added a verse I found online.

Here are some garden photos unedited, so sorry for the quality of the photos. It's been a wonderful year for our flowers, the rain has certainly helped, with the lawn too. The first 4 are at the top of the garden, taken last week, the last two were taken today, with rain expected, again!
The garden is looking glorious Faith, our Rudbeckia is good this year as well, we decided the weathers been ideal for them.
ReplyDeleteLovely card for your Son.

That card looks perfect for your son. I am glad your found a straightforward solution for is card. Your garden looks wonderful. So lush, green and colourful. Mine looks a mess now as we have been very dry for the whole of August. Until last Saturday that is. We had a whole days worth of rain and the garden is much happier now, but too lat for many of the flowers. All the rain does have some benefit xx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the card Faith and your garden photos are lovely xx
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of the digi image Faith - I have been known to revert to those on occasion, especially when inspiration has been lacking.
ReplyDeleteLoving your gardens - they are so lush! I do miss my flower gardens...
