I stamped a plaid background using white ink on spring moss cardstock. I also added some very faint thin lines using another stripe stamp in soft stone ink. The watering can is from Garden Variety and I filled it with flowers made from WPlus9's Fresh Cut Flowers.
Here's the inside:
The center panel was made using the Mover's and Shaker's Zipper Die and sentiments. The wreath is from MFT, on which I added more Fresh Cut Flowers.
The bottom flap holds a gift card envelope made using the Seed Packet Envelope Die and stamps from Garden Variety, Vegetable Garden and Grow in Grace from SNSS.
I love how this all came together since I didn't really have a plan starting out. My MIL is an avid gardener so she will enjoy getting a gift certificate to her local nursery for her birthday in the spring.
I'm also entering this into the Word Art Wednesday Challenge.
Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Oh gotta love that country feel, sweet!!!!
This is lovely. Great use of so many different products. Very inspirational. Now I want the Seed Packet Envelope Die! :)
So sweet and fresh with the flowers! Great idea to use the Seed Packet as a gift-card envelope.
Lovely color, great fold and super insides. Thank you for participating in our 167th AG challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. I hope we will see you back again really soon.

Your card has me longing for spring early this year! Such an adorable tri-fold. I especially like the watering can and that stamped envelope on the inside.
Beautiful Birgit, not to mention green is my FAVE color, but I also love the look of the plaid. Have a blessed day

Wow, this is so pretty. Great take on the challenge. I didn't make a card this week, it just stumped me. But yours turned out so lovely.
this is so very pretty. I really like your seed packet on the inside - so pretty using all the stamps
What a fun card! So many neat things going on inside...
Wow! You really packed a lot into this card! I love it! :)
OMG, Brigit! From the created plaid to the gift card holder, the white scallop strip, the wreath, that flower filled watering can, I'm in love! So beautifully crafted... wait, did I say I LOVE your sweet tag too?
