The card is very pretty. I like how you embossed only a portion of the background. And the mats you created for the pansies are lovely.

I don't know what it is about the UK - folk seem to disappear indoors so quickly. They'll sit out in the back garden but sitting in the front just isn't the 'done thing'. That's such a shame as I'm sure it's so much more interesting and sociable. And as for your swing, sigh. Parsnip is packing his little haversack ready to leave home!!<br /><br />Hugs, Di xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-4640247014413387722014-07-28T05:33:33.742-04:002014-07-28T05:33:33.742-04:00Lovely card.

I notice that certain vegetables also attract ants. It seems mostly to be the flowers. Possibly it is a symbiotic relationship where the plants actually do better with the ants. Never-the-less, they are a nuisance, aren't they? Ants are our number 1 problem here. The plant is gorgeous!<br /><br />And so is your pretty pansy card. I enjoy recycling, and glad to see you do, too. love you, deDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-60233352953858032962014-07-26T19:18:48.065-04:002014-07-26T19:18:48.065-04:00beautiful card Mary, I like the floral images and ...beautiful card Mary, I like the floral images and the embossing.Your front porch looks fabulous.<br />Kevin xxMcCrafty's Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176408869755761519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-89265023912836443212014-07-26T18:41:13.545-04:002014-07-26T18:41:13.545-04:00What beautiful pansies!

About the ants...We use Terro when we get ants. It's a liquid that they like to eat. It draws the whole colony, which is a pain in the kitchen, but they all die pretty quick.

I love brick homes and I love porches! Thank you for sharing!! It's so lovely to put a space with a face.

And what a way you have with those plants to have them last so long!!<br /><br />I see that you have been crafting and still cleaning and purging. This card is really CAS and gorgeous! Great eye to recycle and update those pansies and I'm loving that "smile" die very much!!

Your background of distress inks looks awesome and I don't think your card is to small for the pansies, I think it is just right!! I also love, love, love your front porch!!! You have a nice long one like my aunt in SC and I was sitting on her rockers out on it every chance I got while we visited. lol So when I come down, I will be on yours too. Love the swings as well. You have a beautiful porch Momma Mary! Try mixing up water and some dish detergent and spraying the flower foliage and dirt. That might get rid of the ants. I know it gets rid of the spider mites.
