Good morning to you all and hope you are well. It's time for a challenge at MAWTT and Mrs Duck is our host. If you are a regular to our challenges you will know that Ang (aka Mrs Duck) always gives us the verse of a song and asks us to make a card using something from that verse. As you can see today's song is "English Country Garden". There have been many versions of this traditional English folk song but my favourite has to be the one by Jimmy Rodgers in about 1962. I hope you are all singing along with me!!

You need to use something that features in the first verse of
the song, which is as follows:

You need to use something that features in the first verse of
the song, which is as follows:
English Country Garden
How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian, lupin and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, and forget-me-nots
In an English country garden
Now this is not the card I had planned to make but events overtook me and I had to get it made in a hurry. Mrs Duck knows my reasons and understands why it is so simple. I sponged Pan Pastel Light Gold on the topper because I didn't like the stark white against the backing paper and I think it toned it down just enough.
Please pop over to the blog and see what delights my teamies have produced. I can't hear you singing yet!!
Take care and have a good day.
Lovely card Christine...just catching up on blogs having been poorly for 3 weeks...
