The girl character was sent by Heather for our July swap. The bench fold was the 700th technique challenge. Sabrina knocked it out of the park with this challenge and it was the perfect inspiration for what to do with the big head girl-put some flowers in her hair and build a lovely scene around her! The flowers are PTI, the window has a sponged sky and shutters that open. The extra critters, butterfly and flower pot, mouse in the watering can are Penny Black. The frog is a well loved stamp set from Susanne. The bench has a burlap top. All in all, a very fun project that will be going across the pond to Imke (germanstampler).

Thank you, Sonja, for trying this...and rocking it. Shutters that open, oh my! And those flowers...I love the dicentra and hollyhocks. And the wisteria...and the chalkboard sign...and the frog. Imke will adore this, happy mail day indeed.

HOLY COW! My eyes just popped out!! Then I leaned in and started to study bc there is a lot to see here but not in a busy bad way....
I don't even know how you got the burlap edges to cut so cleanly. I didn't even realize that was burlap till I read the description and went back to look. I love surprises!
I am just blown away-really. How you managed to match all this-the scale is really good. The window fits right in, the wisteria is perfect...look at those bleeding hearts!!! And you layered colors so they look very real...and the hollyhocks and the stone wall emboss and that and that and that over there....it has to be even better in person!
Total keeper! Kudos!!

Wow, there is a lot to see on this card. I totally had to pause just to take it all in! You did a great job making your scene. I have to say that I am amazed by your efforts here.
