Hello and Welcome!
The card I’m sharing with you today
is one made straight from my heart – a birthday card for my son. The theme of the card is gardening. He inherited a love of gardening from his
grandfather.
Beside having a green thumb, he is very artistic in laying out his
garden with trellises, arbors, towers (which he builds himself), plots, and
pots. I was amazed when I saw his green
bean plants growing across an arbor, with the green beans hanging down for easy
picking. Yes, I’m one of those proud mothers.
😊
But let’s get back to card making. Here's a look at the card.
Start with a white A2 size card base.
I used a Die-Namics die to cut a
frame from white card stock, then sponged it with Brushed Corduroy and Frayed
Burlap Distress Inks. Next, I embossed
it with Tim Holtz Woodgrain embossing folder.
The frame was layered over a decorative paper panel before adhering to
the card base.
All the images are from Art
Impressions and Karen Lockhart and were stamped on white card stock then
colored with Copic Markers. Next came
the fussy cutting and deciding about which ones to put in each of the
frames.
I especially love the little pot
with Happy Birthday stamped on it. It
was adhered with 3-D tape so it would stand out from the others. The sentiment in white was computer
generated.
I hope you enjoyed the post today. For me, stamping is the most fun when I’m making
a card for a loved one.
Blessings,
Annie
