Our theme for this challenge is

Challenge #30 - In the garden

Our sponsor for this challenge is
Lacy Sunshine

I have used
Emmilou Boo
which I have coloured with Alcohol pens

I then cut the image out with a die and finished the picture off with my brushes and inks. I cut flowers out to match the colours in the card. The backing paper and sentiment are from nitwits but were a free gift off a magazine. I used a shaped card and wet around the card with alcohol pen to match the green in. To finish off I used liquid pearls around the cut out corners.
