Garden Bench

I know Spring is just around the corner and maybe if I make a few more Spring-like cards, it really will be here!  Today's card was created using the Countryside Cuties stamp set by Your Next Stamp.  The images were colored with alcohol markers.  For the blue area behind the bench I used distress ink and a sponge.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's Scrumptious Script stamp set.  And the item that was the perfect and pretty finishing touch is the Old Olive Linen Thread from Stampin' Up! It is an item in the Occasions Catalog and I am going to stock up on it.  It is the same touch and feel as the Linen Thread that has been in the Stampin' Up Annual Catalog ever since I can remember.  Have a great weekend!
