On Monday I met my dear blogging and crafting buddy Brenda at Wisely Royal Horticultural gardens in Surrey. We have seen these lovely gardens in spring, summer and now autumn this year and have so enjoyed seeing the changing seasons.
We have also been so incredibly lucky with the weather. Just look at those blue skies!
We enjoyed visitng the greenhouses
where so many of the exotic plants were in flower
We even spotted a late butterfly as we walked around the grounds.
We also noticed that the autumnal colours are making themselves noticed, depsite the 27c temperateure my car registered on the drive home.
It was such a lovely day.
My card today is a sunny butterfly card up for sale at Dotty's Teahouse in Carshalton using Visible Image stmaps.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
Stamping sensations 2/3 something beginning with B mine is butterfly.
Fashionable stamping 2/3 quote away
Pile it on 1/3 think big or 1 layer mine is a big sentiment
Pixie's snippets playground #335 I used a snippet of card to make my butterfly with.

Bye for now,

I haven't been to Wisely in such a long time. I have itchy feet now. All beautiful pictures and I love how you have captured the butterfly with its wings open. We have had a few Cabbage Whites still in the garden. Your card is lovely with the beautiful butterfly and wise words. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
