End of month inspiration

Hello! Hope you are enjoying the last Friday in August! Can't believe it's nearly September!
For the end of month inspiration, Angela and Eithne have two beautiful cards inspired by the photo inspiration.

It is my (Eithne's) garden, which is the wild side of the garden! I discovered a bees nest under the flower bed in against the wall, so it was abandoned this summer! Despite the lack of attention, the beautiful green ferns against the purple wall always lifts the garden, even on the wet day, of which this summer we have a lot! You can interpret the picture any way you like - a garden, the colours, the flowers, the wildness etc etc. but you will be disqualified if you look for the weeds! (only kidding ;) )

We look forward to seeing your wonderful entries. Please note some blogs we are unable to comment on, as we don't have a subscription/membership.

Eithne made this card, check out her blog for more details!
