A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog.
Check out this Inspirational Tile to get your creative juices flowing! Gorgeous, right???
Here's what I came up with! I know, I have A LOT going on here! But I love it!
I created my wood grain background first, picking up on the natural look of that wood crate in the Inspirational Photo.....which I then carried on to my lovely wood barrel. Natural and Rustic, a combo that can't be beat! I used several beautiful stamp sets from Gina K Designs to create this card (which, by the way, was extremely FUN); Beyond Baskets, Birthday Blessings, Fill It With Flowers (boy did I ever!) and Folk Filigree. Inks in Always Artichoke, Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, and Wisteria Wonder. I just kept stamping flowers wherever I wanted. Fantastic!
I framed this all in using the Papertrey Ink, Shakers & Sprinkles dies set. I also added a few 3D flowers and vines using the Poppy Stamps die set, Large Madison Window, this comes with a flower box die and everything you need to fill it with. Each flower has a seed bead center. My sentiment is stamped in Brutus Monroe Raven Black ink and then heat embossed with Clear Powder onto a Vellum strip. Copic Markers. Adhesive Pearls.
Only if gardening were this easy! I find the two equally rewarding though!
Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!
You'll be glad you did as there is always a fabulous prize up for grabs!
Hope you have a pretty day!
Enjoy~~
That's a full bucket of beautiful blooms! The vine and flowers you added for dimension is perfect!
