Library Challenge - The Secret Garden

The new book at The Library was chosen by Visiting Librarian Jo, and it's an old childhood favourite of mine (I still have my original copy, I think) , The Secret Garden. 

I was inspired by the story . If my memory is correct, (spoiler alert!) , there was a friendly robin who hung around with the grumpy gardener and, this was how Mary found the secret garden.

 I thought this old Woodware (I think) stamp , with the robin sitting on the spade handle, was just right. I embossed it in white on kraft , coloured it with pencils and added a Hero Arts sentiment.

I'd like to enter:

    Beautiful! I love the embossed image on Kraft colored with pencils and then popped on white for a CAS look. Very nicely done! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.

    Such an elegant and classy card! Catching up after vacation, several beautiful cards while I was away, I liked the dog card a lot.

    The white heat embossing looks great with the sweet image and the adorable robin. Great interpretation of the book title x.
