Whimsy Garden SOTM from From The Heart

This Whimsy Garden Fence digital image is from From The Heart.  It's for their progressive Stamp of the Month challenge.  If you played along in April, you got this sweet image FREE to play along again in May.  Here's the sketch challenge this week for #67 Play along with us using this Sketch with or without a Twist!

I played along using the Twist ... stitching, digital stamp and buttons.  It was really FUN!!

Card Details:  Whimsy Garden Fence digial image and sentiments from FromTheHeart,
 Head in the Clouds Pebbles Inc dp, BasicGrey JuneBug dp, dark blue and textured yellow cs
from Stampin Up and Bazzil respectively.  Image colored with Copic markers, buttons
from my button jar (misc manufacturers) and yellow satin ribbon from Offray.

A little blurry on the pets - camera must have focused on the top of the image.

Note:  The sentiments are perfect on the front of your card or even as a quote
on the inside cover of the card.
