The Healing Power of a Garden

 Today I'm playing along with the Just Us Girls Challenge


I was inspired by the colors, the snail, flower stems and single blossoms!


I got out the Curio Spring Findings dies from The Greetery, that I purchased several years ago and didn't play with until today!  
That's why I love challenges -  they challenge me to use my stuff!

The snails' shell has a die cut curl mark on it but it doesn't show up in the photo.  I added his eye with a Micron 01 black marker.

I stenciled the background using the Milky Way Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.   The sentiment is from Garden Sayings from Impression Obsession.

I'm also sending my card to:

    This reminds me that I have this die set in my NBUS box. These little die cuts work beautifully with the stenciled background, Julia! I'm loving this little snail but still not the real ones.
