Rustic Elegance Secret Garden Card

Hi and happy Sunday! I have a little project to share today. I created this card for the Shabby Tea Room weekly challenge. The theme this week is rustic elegance. My Irish soul (whose advice I always take!) inspired me to take a journey inside a secluded garden. It is usually locked tight, but today the fairies have left us the key to the garden gate! We've arrived at the perfect moment, for we are just in time to glimpse some woodland nymphs as they watch over a spring nest.  I used soft hues of vintage pink, mint, and cream. The beautiful image I used as the base of my card was found on Pinterest, and is the amazing work of Astrid Maclean. I've included some additional detail photos below. I thank you for taking time to stop by my blog! You have made my day more special by visiting. May your day be filled with with everything wonderful! Hugs,

This was the photo inspiration for the week. The challenge was to use the colors from the photo as well as a rustic and elegant element.
