Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
I'm happy to say I am hosting today's challenge and today's theme is:
SUNFLOWERS
The design team ladies have come up with some amazing designs for your
inspiration, be sure to pop over and check 'em out! Speaking of
inspiration ... here's the mood board I created ... hope it helps to
inspire you!
Here's what I have created for you ... can you tell what items in the mood board inspired me?? Yep ... bottom right corner ... sunflowers, fence & bird(s).
Having had this Stampendous stamp set in my stash for awhile now, today was the day to 'ink it up'! I've actually stamped it twice and after coloring, I fussy cut around the top two flowers and popped them up over the original stamped image for dimension.
My little bird is a Marianne die that I've also had for quite some time and had never used until today. It did actually take me a few minutes to figure out how the pieces fit (thankfully I saved the image from the packaging in my storage binder).
I have used the Impression Obsession 'Large Fence',
and also a Cottage Cutz 'Grass Border' (#CC-BR07-001)
for my design.
Having used some never before used items today makes this creation also fit the NBUS Challenge Blog by Darnell. In case you're not aware, NBUS stands for Never Before Used Schtuff LOL.

ReplyDeleteLovely, Darlene! So many die cuts and lots of dimension in this garden scene. I love the layered sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet card Dar! The double layered sunflower gives this card dimension while the darling little birds add a touch of whimsy. So glad you got to use some of your NBUS. That's always fun! Thanks for the great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful card and you certainly once again 'nailed' the mood board. I didn't even notice the bird until you mentioned it in the photo!! Super cute and fun bird too!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! There's just something about a sweet little fence protecting a glorious garden, in this case, your fabulous sunflowers! Love the dimension you have created too! Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning card Darlene! Beautiful scene you have created with the gorgeous sunflowers and fabulous dies
ReplyDeleteOur neighbors lost their big maple tree in the front yard last spring and she has planted a small garden of towering sunflowers in its place, surrounded by a little fence! It's as if you drove through the neighborhood and saw it, Darlene! And, of course, the birds love them! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope I can play! Your card is a work of art! It's just sooooo pretty, Darlene! Don't we all have so much NBUS? Plus there's all the wonderful things we have tucked away in our drawers. It's all good! Really love your card!
