Seed Packets 
I first used the Seed Packets (and Garden Bunny) stamps to make some labels for garden pots.  If it ever stops being cold and wet we may be able to plant some things.  The wooden stirrers were stamped in Stazon (no orange for the carrots!) and the sticky labels were stamped in Memento black and coloured with Copics so I hope they hold!
This project (again using both Seed Packets and Garden Bunny plus some Spellbinders dies) is going to be a Birthday card for our Brother in Law who doesn't seem to care what the weather is like when he wants to spend time in the garden. I used pencils to colour the images and Distress ink for the dirt.


This last card uses the Seed Packets set with the set called Love Remains. I have used both the rose and word Roses from that set. To make this card I stamped and embossed the yellow panel and then used bleach to remove the colour before using watercolour pencils to add colour back to the rose and leaves. A spellbinders die was used to cut the heart and the sentiment Plant Some Love is from the Seed Packets set.

  7. Gorgeous work! I love the markers that you made, do you think they will be waterproof? I'd love to know. I also like that you used the seed packet with a flower stamp. My daughter wasn't keen on the veggie seeds and told me that I should have made a flower seed package.

  8. Awesome plant markers that you made, now you are all set to plant a garden. Your card are both very pretty and I love how you used the rose on the seed packet. Looks like your mojo is working over time.

  11. Love how you put the rose on the seed packet! When we lived in Colorado, I'd be out in my garden at the end of February, pruning my roses! I'd get the first glorious flush of roses in late May! Your veggie garden labels are so cute! Love the idea of putting them on the plain plastic pots!
