Hello again! This card was created for my daughter whose birthday fell this month. I absolutely love how it turned out. Lots of work but well worth it. One of my daughter's cats is a tortoiseshell and she has many cardinals around her home, hence the cat and cardinal images on the card.
I began by die cutting all the images that I planned to use in this project. Using kraft card stock for the barrel, wagon wheel, and sign post, these were die cut and then sponged with brown ink to give all a rustic appearance. Next the barrel, wheel and sign post were assembled, adding brown card stock to the barrel and wheel to make them complete. Gold card stock was used for the chains holding the sign. The sentiment was computer generated on white card stock and a pink heart was added before adhering the sentiment to the sign post.
The flowers and greenery were die cut in various shades of card stock, assembled and then positioned over and around the barrel with dimensionals and adhesive. A grass border was cut in green card stock, the cardinal in red and the cat image in digital paper I had in my stash. Now it was time to put it all together and create a scene.
I used white card stock for the base card and layered it with brown card stock. I added another layer of pink card stock die cut from a postage stamp frame die. Finally, the white focal panel, after sponging the center with pin, was adhered to the prepared card base. The die cut images were then positioned and adhered to the card using adhesive and dimensionals. Yellow butterflies, wings sponged with brown ink, the red cardinal, and the cat image were added and the project was complete.
