We have a friend who has the most splendid garden in which he grows almost every vegetable known to man (along with a good proportion of the known fruit too) … we know, cause we’ve tasted most of them! It was his birthday just the other day and this was his fun card …
The veggies from the Paper Smooches’ Vegtastic set were perfect for him … as was the sweet little snail from Winnie & Walter’s You’ve Got Love Mail, so I’m playing along with both … Anything Goes at Paper Smooches and Join In To Win at Winnie & Walter .
I stamped the veggies, coloured them with Promarkers, trimmed them out and liberally applied Glossy Accents (which you can’t see because I took a rubbish photo … they look luscious IRL!). Monsieur Escargot was stamped along the bottom edge of a white panel, the sentiment was added and I ran the panel through my Cuttlebug (Charles EF) … a hint at the idea of furrows. The veggies lined themselved up in school-photo-style across the furrows and were popped up on different sized foam dots, and the finished panel was popped up on the card base. I can’t help but smile looking at it!
Off to do a little outdoor work whilst the sun’s shining and the sky’s blue … hope you’re having a Saturday full of sunshine! Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments are always a joy! Anita 🙂

These little veges are just too cute Anita, they look so darn bright and cheery!
This is one FUN birthday card – makes me smile real big – your friend will LOVE this! Except those creepy little snails you are hiding at the bottom – bet you he doesn’t like those 😉
Anita…I love your sweet parade of vegi’s, just too cute! And your coloring is perfection with those sweet little snails crawling behind them…so fun!
Oh boy, this is FUN, Anita!!! Those friendly veggies has brought a big smile to my face!!! I can imagine how great they must look with the shine on them!! (…I think I have to agree with Cornelia that your friend most probably didn’t like the snails!! LOL!!! 😉 )
Super sweet card!!
Have a super day!!
Happy happy looking veggies!
What a fun card Anita… and my favorite embossed BG!
I find it interesting this is not a stamp set that I would choose but it looks so dang cute in your card. Good job.
This is so cute. Love those friendly veggies, and the snails are a nice touch.
Oh, I just love all the fun, vibrant colors and how you popped them up on that great textured background! Fabulous card, Anita!
I’m back. Catching up on my comments, dear friend. Now this card….well it’s just about the sweetest thing ever! Almost makes me want to start liking eggplant (almost….)! You’ve made a delightful, bountiful garden. I’m sure your friend will adore this. Your coloring is wonderful. I’m going to have to start taking lessons from you! Have a great week dear friend. xoxo
Hello again, missed visiting your blog and this is a joy to see, such a fun card. I love to have a go at growing my own veg with varying success!!
How perfect for your friend Anita…those veggies made me laugh!
This is so bright and fun, Anita! It reminds me of my special birdie friends card!! Have a great week! Hugs, Darnell
such a happy, bountiful garden – and if all veggies cam with such smiles, guaranteed they’d be safe from being consumed! I’d keep them all as pets (hmmm…what would I feed them?). Anyway, before I lapse into further silliness: gorgeous day-brightening, mega-watt smile-making card!! Hugs~c
What a great card! The veggies are adorable and you did such a nice job coloring them! 🙂
Such a great card, and a lovely blog. I came across it from the Moxie Fab Blog Roll. I am on the list too – Taunya Butler or daisiesgirl.com would you like to pop by for a visit?
I’ve been a bit out of commission the last month or so, but WOW have you been making loads of stunning cards. Anita, I so enjoyed catching up on the posts that I’ve missed of yours. You’ve inspired me!
This is so bright and FANTASTIC!!!
Just came back to offer my thanks to you for stopping by my blog. Those veggies sure make me smile!! Thanks again!!
Super adorable and fun card, Anita! Love your use of the veggies from Paper Smooches with the snail! Clever and I am sure your gardening gentleman friend will love it.
