Gardening Girl!

I've used my "garden tools" digi image ( avaliable HERE for £1.50 ) in a slightly different way today. It's actually the first time I've paper pieced a digi image, and I'm sure I'll be doing it more often. I printed the image onto patterned paper and cut out the relevant pieces just like you'd do with a rubber/ clear stamp.The rest is coloured with Promarkers
Although I was making the card for the Basic Grey challenge (pearls) I wasn't sure enough how it would turn out to actually print onto my precious Basic Grey paper so I used some I got free with a mag to try it out and used Basic Grey for the background.

I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers
and also made it for the following challenges;
Frosted Designs....punches, pink, ribbon, flowers,glitter
Alphabet ...P is for punches
