Do you have a friend who finds joy in gardening? This beautiful die cut card is sure to fill their mailbox with sunshine and florals.
The weather is warmer, flowers are blooming and it’s a perfect time to sit in the garden. Today’s designer, Julie, said, “So many plants are blooming here and I wanted to try and capture that in my card. To me, it looks like a wonderful place to sit and drink in all the colors. This isn’t a hard card to make, so let me show how I did it.” Follow along and see how you can make a handmade card for your garden-loving friend.
How to make this card:
- To make my card, I die cut the chairs out of cobalt & turquoise then mix-matched them.
- I used the same blue for the awning, the tall pot and the narrow backing layer
- The grass is two shades of green & the flowers are a mix of yellow, lt pink, dk pink & lt red.
- I die cut the white background first, then attached the darker green grass stri, leaving the very center unglued so I could slip in the white planter of tulips behind it. I placed it back into the stitched rectangle die & recut so the grass would be even.
- I put together the awning & popped only the top part up (not the supports).
- The lighter green grass was attached behind the awning supports then the 2 chairs were popped up on top & the tall blue vase added on the left.
- The greeting was die cut & it’s backed w/ 2 plain cuts out of turquoise to shadow it. One is placed a little above the greeting & the other a little below it.
