Creative Expressions - Garden Chic # 3

This my latest project for the Creative Expressions DT using the fab Chic Garden set. I made it last week but with not being well I am a bit behind with DT commitments this week. However I am starting to feel a bit better. So I am catching up a bit this afternoon with my favourite blogs and thought I better update mine too!!
I decided to use several of the images from the set and create a grid of inchies. The stamps are so detailed that they work perfectly for this technique.


After stamping and punching out my chosen areas, I mounted each square onto a brown matt and then onto a gold square. 


As an embellishment I made a shrink plastic butterfly. I stamped it with Brilliance Tiramisu ink pad.


To finish off I wrapped some garden raffia round the card and tied on the Tim Holtz philosophy tag. 
Thanks for stopping by for a look.
