I had a little stamping energy this week, so I did make a birthday card for my SIL. She works tirelessly at keeping a nice house for my brother and her family, is a great cook and a wonderful friend. She loves country and is probably the best gardener I’ve even seen—to my dismay, because even with a farmer and a florist in my family, the gardening gene did not pass down to me! Anyway, I used one of my favorite Crafty Secrets gardening images with this week’s Retro Sketches sketch:
And here is my gardening-themed creation:
I stamped my image in Bordering Blue on a little scalloped tag and colored it with some ink and a blender pen. I dyed some seam binding and added a little felt flower. Here’s a little closeup:
I know the Retro Sketches designers tend to lead toward more funky, tendy, CAS designs, but I loved the sketch and put my vintage spin on it. TFL!

STUNNINGLY beautiful vintage card LeAnne! The monochromatic color scheme is so soft and subtle. Thanks for joining us this week at RetroSketches!

I love your vintage spin on the sketch. Very pretty. Did the scalloped tag have the flower design on it? That looks so pretty.
Oh it looks like someone may need some sunglasses when she plays in the sand box. So cute!
