This card is for two challenges - SCS Ways To Use It (WT389 - head in the clouds) ... and Color Throwdown (CTD206 - Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Tempting Turquoise): http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.ca/20...wdown-206.html
Created a fun scene using die-cuts and punches with only the sentiment stamped. Used the negative cloud dies backed with turquoise polka-dot paper and added the white die-cuts clouds on top for added dimension.
Die cut three of all the size of clouds and glued each same-size together to create thick die-cuts ... added stitching with Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write marker. Also die-cut three of the picket fences and glued them together for thickness.
Paper: heavy white (neenah); tempting turquoise polka-dot, certainly celery, cameo coral
Ink: early espresso, tempting turquoise, old olive
Accessories: puffy cloud die (memory box), picket fence die (poppy stamps), olive branch die (c.c. designs), mini sun punch (punch bunch), mini pink half pearls

Totally love the way you used both the negatives with the cute dp behind and the die cut clouds with their awesome faux-stitched accents as a backdrop for your darling fence and flowers.

Clean, Crisp, Cute and soooo Creative! Loll...I love how you cut out layers and glued together instead of using dimensionals and your negative with DSP and faux sewn clouds and how you placed each cloud. Then there is the pretty flowers climbing the fence. So much to love. TFS

Brilliant, just Brilliant. I love how you have used both the negative and the die clouds and backing the negatives with the polka dot paper rocks! I am loving the variety in font stamps you have...they are so fanciful and you always seem to pick just the RIGHT one to go with each of your amazing CAS beauties. They become as much a part of the art of the card as the rest of the elements! The flowers climbing your fence ares just the sweetest little things and using the half circle for the yard in the background with what looks like some sponging is just genius! What a wonderful tranquil scene. I love it! I showed off your gallery to my husband tonight....and he really likes your work too~
