A Secret Garden....
What a perfect place. A little hide-away filled with flowers and greenery that inspires renewal. I hope you have a place like that to retreat to once in a while.
While I don't have a garden, and my place isn't a secret....
I do love to just sit quietly in my "California living room transplanted to my Idaho bonus room". It's white and shabby and peaceful - it does the trick.
(Actually, the trick is to take the time to spend there.)

There's another Secret Garden and it just happens to be the perfect stamp set for creating 'I'm Thinking of You' cards. Subtle and beautiful in Basic Black and Crumb Cake,it has a light, uplifting feel to it - just what the occasion calls for.
The center of the flower was created with Pearls colored black with a Sharpie marker. Easy, easy! The pearls dry fast, but not so much the paper they come on. I hope you have a little more patience with that part than I did so you don't need to create another flower. Drat those black smudges.... couldn't even photoshop them properly!

I created this card and then noticed the challenge over at Paper Players. Perfect timing!
