I rummaged through the dictionary and then through my stamp drawers - found some long forgotten hardly used stamps by Stampendous....This is the result.
I've recently bought some Bombay Inks by PH Martin - acrylic India Ink - lush colours, this is the turquoise I've used, and one of my late Dad's calligraphy dipping pens... this nursery rhyme seemed appropriate to the word I chose!
I took some white paper flowers, stamped on them in archival ink and brushed some Squeezed Lemonade distress ink over the top, to finish the page off.

Cor Lovely stuff. Like the pen and ink work..omg and no blobs or blots..clever you!
Ah, now I understand all the messages about India Inks on Twitter! Beautiful pages! Super colours and effects, so delicate. I love anything to do with gardens! I completely missed Z last time. Maybe I'll catch up and do Z and G together! Life's got a bit busy again! Julie Ann x
Wonderful page Helen:-)
Saw the Bombay inks in June and considered getting some. The colours are so vibrant in the bottles, especially the purple and orange:-)
I'm so jealous - I've been drooling over those inks for ages. Love what you did with them - going to be thinking of that rhyme all day now :)
Lovely pages, and the glowing words look amazing - how lovely to use your Dad's pen to do them.

Super page Helen, nice to have some memories of the hot Summer we had which seem long gone now. BJ
Fab pages for the Alpha Challenge Helen. Those stamps are really pretty but I never use anything like that purely because I don't have the patience to colour them in, lol! Love the one with the arch!

Gorgeous images, pretty pages. MMx
Pretty gardens.
Great green garden!
Lovely cottage garden pages and very brave to write in ink with real pens! I have chosen garden too

great page. Beautiful colouring in of stamped images. they are lovely gardens - not at all like mine.
Very original with that little rhyme, lovely page! Hugs FRea
You chose lovely images and coloured them well. I have been considering the inks for a long time but still not sure how I could use them. I take it you don't have the ELB03 stamp from PA... it's got that "How does you garden grow" saying!
Checking out the "G" pages now I am back from holiday. Fabulous page, love the garden stamps and use of the nursery rhyme.
