I didn't want to cover up the image with a sentiment, so I added a small white heat embossed brown banner with a staple. The whimsy of the staple works well with the image. :)

Such a pretty summery card Loll. It cheered me up on what is rather a grey soggy morning here. :)

The scene you have created is very soothing and peaceful. The smooched bg is so perfect and of course your coloring is spot on.
What a sweet, sweet card Loll! Your background is perfect for all the lovely blooms and birdhouses, and this card just totally says everything good that there is about Summer! Love it!! :0)
Beautiful card Loll - that soft pastel background is so pretty!
Thanks so much for guest designing for us this month!

Snap! I have just coloured some birdhouses too. I love your colour combination. Hugs Mrs

This is a terrific stamp and you have coloured it brilliantly Loll, and I think stamping it in brown is just a bit softer and suits it perfectly. x
What a pretty garden with the lovely variety of flowers and sweet birdhouses! It's so perfect with that softly smooshed background!
Loll, what a great scene you created with the flowers and the bird houses. Love the card :)
Love your sweet colorful flower garden being enjoyed by the tweety birds sitting on top of the bird houses. Beautiful soft watercolored background for your floral design, my friend. Congratulations on being chosen for PB's Saturday Guest Designer. Stay safe and Creative, Lolly. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Who wouldn't smile seeing this sweet scene, Loll ... especially when it's so beautifully watercoloured ... and when the background is so dreamy! Hugs, Anita :)
What a pretty card Loll. The image is beautiful and I so like your wonderful colours. What a fun idea with the staple too x.
Many congratulations too Loll on guesting x.
This is so, so cute, Loll! I love this stamp so much. I could easily get addicted to Penny Black, but they do so many releases... it would be dangerous for my craft budget! You do beautiful work. Congrats on your guest spot!
Your coloring is amazing on this Loll! It’s such a happy card! Love the summer fresh colors and the gorgeous shading. The background you chose is so complimentary to the image and congratulations on being guest designer at Penny Black!!
Such a charming card, Loll! I wish my garden looked as pretty as this...Beautiful coloring and lovely color palette, too!
Perfect colours and card to convey a warm summer’s day. Your watercoloring is beautiful as always. Congrats again on GD.
This is so pretty and summery ..... beautifully coloured and I love how you've attached the banner xx
Loll, this is so delightful and serene! I love it! Thanks for being such an inspiring GD:)
so delightful....lovely and uplifting.

Beautiful card and I love the scene and the pretty colors with pink and yellows. Great job and thanks for playing along with us at The Flower Challenge.
What a pretty garden card, Loll! Love that you used medium brown ink and heat-embossed the image in clear. The outlines have warmth and go so well with the warm colors. The flowers, birds, and the bird houses are colored beautifully, and the stapled sentiment strip is a really nice touch!

Ohhh wow Loll I love this card, the stamp is so beautiful as is the scene you have made from it. Thank you so much for joining us at The Flower Challenge and we hope to see you there again soon. Aileen DesignTeam
It's a terrific scene and so beautifully painted! Makes me smile
This is so beautiful, Loll, it is full of warmth and happiness.
Your card is an illustration for an enchanted garden, Loll. I love the coexistence of flowers, birds and their houses. This card gives you a feeling of happiness and carefree. I love how you managed to get a soft aqua backdrop.
