Hi Quirky friends, is my turn -Monica- to set the theme for this new challenge.
The first thing you have to do is to take a few minutes of your time, relax, take a big breath and watch this video, because this will be your inspiration:
This challenge is inspired in 1993´s movie "The Secret Garden", that shows place full of flowers, in where you can hide away.
So your projects must show a lot of colorful flowers and that beautiful hidden place.

GUEST DESIGNERS
PRINCESS
Ike used Braided hair big eyed flower fairy to make a gorgeous card with a secret garden verse, and used a garden image as her background with some flowers and a butterfly, perfect for this challenge!
Ike also used Braided hair big eyed flower fairy to make this gorgeous frame card and added lots of die cut foliage and insects, and the background has a pretty rainbow.
Karen used "Flower Fairy and Birdie on her card, with an added bloom and background foliage on the paper.
And the Quirky Crafts team:
CAZZY
My second card features Vintage Doll with Teddy (who is also available in a pre-coloured version), and she is sitting in a secret garden on her picnic rug.
For my first card I used the gorgeous Aurora Cherry Blossom, and kept her to fresh subtle colours. I made my own cherry blossoms using dies I had and a punch in honour of Samaflora, and added them to the die cut frame. I haven't decided if I will add a sentiment yet!
DORIS
On this occasion I chose to work with the digital stamp Braided hair big eyed flower fairy from our great sponsor UNKY. I worked on one of my favorite colors: black, in different degradations. Also I painted the image with the Spectrum Noir and I put it on the bottom of the card frame. I also added paper flowers in bright colors, cardboard butterflies and a sentiment that describes the meaning of My Secret Garden.
And finally this is the inside of my card.
GEMMA
I absolutely love the images we have for this weeks Challenge from Unky, they're beautiful.
I wanted to do something slightly different for this challenge, so I decided to make a journal from scratch.....
I chose several sheets of decorative and plain, heavy weight papers, cut them to size and decorated them in various ways. I sprayed some ink through a stencil, I added tags, made pockets, stamped images and some sentiments, just to personalise and add interest to the pages, but you can do whatever you want to do, to decorate your book.
back
To bind all of the pages together, I cut a strip of sticky canvas and cut a scalloped edge to each side, sprayed it with ink through a stencil, then held the pages tightly in one hand and applied the canvas to hold it securly. I coloured the gorgeous UNKY image in with Twinkling H20s. It gives the image a delicate sparkle which suited the fairy image......
Happy crafting.............xx
I've also used Braided hair big eyed flower fairy from our sponsors UNKY. Coloured her with ProMarkers and green micro glitter. The paper's I've used are called 'Frabrications' and were freebies from a Crafting Magazine. A link to the free font, which I've used on the inside, is on my blog!
For my project I used this magical digi "Flower Fairy and Birdie" from our talented sponsor Unky -The East Wind-.
My perfect "Secret Garden" hideaway must have a beautiful gazebo surrounded with lots of flowers. That´s just what I´m trying to show in this card.
I used Spectrum Noir Pens to color the digi and Silhouette Cameo to make all the cutting work.
