Happy Friday Everyone!
Well with the April Showers, we will soon have May Flowers, so it's time to get out in those flower beds and get busy!
With that thought in mind, I decided to make a fun shaped card using the Gardening Boot image from the Crafty Secrets 'Garden Style DAS-117' Digital stamp set.
With that thought in mind, I decided to make a fun shaped card using the Gardening Boot image from the Crafty Secrets 'Garden Style DAS-117' Digital stamp set.
I simply brought this image into a blank Word10 document and resized it to the card size I desired. Then I proceeded to have fun coloring with it laying open so one side mirrored the other. The bottom portion of the boot has a lighter shade background and a shine (like real garden boots) from the Crystal Effects used. Sorry, I could seem to get a good photo but you get the idea.
Since my alcohol markers could be seen on the inside of my card (used the wrong paper when printing ... oops, lol) I simply laid my open boot on white card stock, traced the image with a pencil then fussy cut it and adhered each side panel to the inside.
I used the 'Just Because' sentiment on the inside because I thought this card would be perfect to JUST brighten someone's day ... no special occasion necessary.
The only embellishment my 'Garden Boot Card' needed was a flower & a butterfly.
Luckily I had made up some paper flowers a few weeks back in various colors so I just grabbed one the color I wanted ... added the little Martha Stewart punched butterfly and VIOLA! Ready to go!
