In the Garden

 

In the Garden

Cupcake Inspirations challenge this month is "in the garden". My own garden is mainly flowers with a few tomato plants, so this card shows my floral harvest. Play along with us at Cupcake Inspirations.

Create your own Patterned Paper

Create your own patterned paper with stencils, like this one from Emily Moore Designs. The layered stencil set comes with 3 floral stencils, 1 foliage, stencil and 1 stencil for the floral centers. Use brown ink for the centers to match the wooden crate. Using Emily Moore Shaker Frame, The Doily, die cut the floral paper you've created. This shaker frame doesn't have to be a shaker, just pop it up with some foam tape on green cardstock to add dimension. Stamp the gardening tools on the green layer and adhere a few of the foliage pieces to this layer. 

Die Cut Garden Crate

This little garden crate from Altenew is super cute with the wood pattern etchings. The floral dies come in this Gardener's Corner set as well. Add some mini sequins for centers and a little more shine on the sentiment using a clear shimmer glitter brush pen. This same shimmer will work well on the hand trowel if you'd like.
