How does your garden grow? I live in SE Texas so my garden has been in the ground for about four weeks. We planted tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions and some herbs. I am celebrating the spring garden season by entering this card in Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #77 ~ "How Does Your Garden Grow?" The card must have something to do with flower or vegetable gardening to enter this contest.
This is how I made the card;
(1) I used a base card made from kraft card stock.
(2) The yellow paper is Bazzill embossed card stock.
(3) The image is "The Big Guy's Garden" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and mounted it on a piece of dark blue card stock.
(4) I embellished the card with a photo corner made from Bazzill embossed paper and a glitter sticker that says "Simple Joy".
My tomatoes are growing and some of the plants even have a few blooms. We really need some rain to keep the garden plants strong and healthy. I should be eating some fresh, homegrown tomatoes around the first of June. I can't wait!

Father's Day is just two weeks from this Sunday. This afternoon I made a handmade card for my dad. I have been scrapbooking and making handmade cards for about a year now. WARNING: It is very addictive!
I have another blog where I have posted some of my greeting cards. I have recently discovered the fun and ease of using digitial stamps. A digital stamp is especially made to be colored and used on handmade greeting cards or scrapbooking projects. I love Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. Mo Manning is a children's book illustrator who has built a very successful business selling digital stamps.
The name of this digital stamp image is "The Big Guy's Garden". I chose this image because my dad worked as a farmer and wore overalls just like this when he worked in the fields. I used Prismacolor pencils to color the image and a solvent to blend the colors.
I will write a personal Father's Day greeting on the inside of the card.
