Hello! Just popping in with a card for the July 2014 PTI Blog Hop.
Here is the inspiration photo for the challenge:
...and this is what I came up with (taking the colors and the checkered piece):
I was looking for a set that I hadn't used for ages... hence Garden Variety... such a darling set... I should use it more often. The sketch came from CASE this Sketch #86.
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

This is SO pretty! I have those stamps and dies but rarely think to use them. I'd love if you would do a tutorial on how you do your loopy strings on so many of your cards, mine never come out right. It's one of my favorite things that you add to your cards!
