Gardeners Know The Best Dirt!

MFT-PI-Gardeners-wm

Hi all!

It is Thursday which means it is time for another challenge over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  Being a brand new month we have a new challenge hostess which is Shirley Quarry.

This week Shirley has given us a fun sketch to play along with.

To create my card I used MFT Stamps new “PI – Mud Buddies” set which was released last night. This is such a fun set!

After die cutting my circle I used MFT Stamps Die-namics Cloud Trio Die to create masks of cloud shapes which I attached to my circle and then I airbrushed over this using my copic airbrush. I also used the Die-namics Scalloped Scallop Die to create another mask so that I could airbrush the dirt area. I then stamped the dirt from the set over the dirt area.

The bottom strip going across my card was created using MFT’s Die-namics Jumbo Scallop Die.

To create the tiny flowers in my garden, I used an Sizzlits flower die and then used the pink felt from My Favorite Felt - Banana Split felt pack … I am loving playing with this felt there are endless things you can do with it. To finish off the flowers I added pink swarovski crystals from Swarovski Crystal - Spring Collection.

I die cut another small cloud using the Die-namics Cloud Trio Die and then stamped the sentiment from “Clearly Sentimental About Summer Vacations” set … I thought this sentiment also worked for a garden scene as well as a vacation.

Here is the inside of my card. The sentiment is another from the Pure Innocence stamp set that I used for my card. And as you can see I used my Die-namic Jumbo scallop die again to create the border along the bottom.
