Summer Day Shy Bear

Well summer 2011 is here after a very wet spring and one horrible winter:) Here is my card  and a picture of my back yard to celebrate it. It was a long time coming..Two robins's had just finished taking a bath and I was trying to capture the moment. Not being that great of a photographer I missed it (did not even come close lol). My garden gets really  lovely around September, just before the frost. So basically I get 3 1/2 months to putter away before fall clean up. I do love those 3 1/2  (sometime 4)  months.

Card details. I used a Shy Bear digital stamp from Squigglefly called  'Bouquet Bear'. I love shy bears and can't believe I have not made a card  with them for quite a long time.
Die Cuts: Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Lacy Squares',  'Inverted  Squares'
Punches:SU 'Beautiful Wings' for the butterflies, Martha Stewart branch  punch and various daisy punches from Fiskars and Marvy for the flower
Medium: Prismacolor markers

    Wow Glenda your garden is so beautiful. I had been to Canada with my parents when I was 8 years old and only remember the snow as we had gone in winter. Your garden is so gorgeous. Just the picture of it can be made into a card! May be you can layer it like a pyramage card!
