Flowering Tree and Cats on Fence

 

Hello crafting friends!   My daughter's birthday was this month and I decided to create an outdoor scene for her. It's a little different from my previous one and I find that I really enjoy creating these.

I began with cutting a 5x5 panel of green and white striped digital paper from my stash and creating a border around the panel using MS Punch Around the Page Eyelet Lace punch.  This would be my focal panel onto which I positioned and attached my images. I matted this panel with a larger piece of GKD Pure Luxury White card stock.

Next, I die cut the tree in GKD Kraft card stock using an IO Bare Tree die and then sponged it with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink. Using an IO Leaf Cluster die, I cut the tree leaves in GKD Garden Green card stock. The tiny flowers were die cut next using Rubbernecker's Tiny Flower Buds. The leaves were adhered to the tree branches followed by the tiny flowers which were arranged in groups of three (3). This was put aside for the time being.

The fence was cut in GKD Pure Luxury White card stock and the grass border in GKD Garden Green,  both from dies in Sue Wilson's Garden Circle Scene die set. The cats were die cut using DiesRus Cats die set and colored using Distress Oxide Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Inks. The feet and ears and part of the faces of the cats were colored with a dark brown brush pen.

The  butterflies were cut from Memory Box Peaceful Butterfly Wings in GKD Pure Luxury White card stock. Glitter was added to the butterflies.

Now it was time to put everything together to create the scene. First, I  positioned the tree and adhered the trunk with dimensional tape. Next, glue dots were added to the backs of the branches to adhere them. The fence was attached with dimensional tape and the grass border to the fence with double sided adhesive. The cats were positioned on the fence and adhered. The butterflies were randomly positioned in the background and adhered. I added Wink of Stella to the flower buds to give them just a  bit of sparkle.

Finally the focal panel was adhered to a layer of the GKD Garden Green card stock and then attached to a GKD Pure Luxury White base card. My project was complete.
