Mark's Birthday 2015

Good Morning,
I made today's card for our Son's Birthday. In the last few years he has become quite the Veggie and Herb Gardener as he has found a bit more time to dabble.  I used a retired stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Garden Pleasures.  Because the images are small I decided to use a block effect to display each image. 



Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Afterthoughts, Hardwood BG, Garden Pleasures
Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red
Ink: Stazon Black, Garden Green, Soft Suede
Markers: Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red, Gable Green, Daffodil Delight, Not Quite Navy
Cool Tools: Aqua Painter, 1 1/4" Square Punch, 1 3/8" Square Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Sponge, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by.
