 I will be showcasing three cards - one each day of the hop.  So without further chit chat, here is my first card using the Garden Accessories Color Set


There is quite a bit of dimension and I am not very good at close up shots but the next picture will give you a little idea of some of the layering and dimension:
The poppies are layered, the gloves over the planting pot and the spade on top of those.  Lots of fussy cutting but I love how much 3-D was achieved.
These beautifully drawn images are also pre-colored - perfect for me, seeing that I am not the best when it comes to shading.
Hope you liked how I used this set.  Your next stop is the talented Miesje Flach .  I know you are going to love the eye candy she has prepared for you.

BUT WAIT.  Before you head over there, pick up this free sentiment : No longer available

  2. Like the Garden Spring theme Card. Like how your card has dimension with the cut outs & placement of the digis. Hubby got our garden ready. We have a greenhouse & more. We have vegs (broccoli, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce - Red Romaine & Argula, onions, potatoes, spinach & tomatoes), strawberries & prettiest of all my BlueBonnets in my backyard are blooming.
