New card for a gardener


It seems that people buying cards are always on the lookout for designs reflecting hobbies. For the men, I've got designs featuring football, cricket, golf, fishing etc etc ... but it occurred to me a while ago that I had nothing at all relating to gardening.

While visiting some beautiful gardens a couple of weekends ago, I came across a scene that I just knew would make a great card background. The garden fork beside a little basket of potatoes made an attractive combination - and I hope I have enhanced it with my quilling.

As you can see, I've finally got back into my card-making again after a really busy week working on magazine articles and preparing for last Sunday's art show. Now all I need is just a few more uneventful days to get the creative processes flowing properly once again!
