I don't think I have ever completed a challenge that started with such a small element (garden tool brads) and morphed into such a detailed panorama (a golf course)! I needed a BD card for my son who manages all things turf and gardens at a large golf course so arrived at this idea!
Masked and blended the background. Cut out the fence and golf cart in grey,and 3 each of white. Stacked and glued the 3 white fences ( and golf carts) together. Then offset the grey fence (and cart) and glued it to the bottom to create a shadow.
Colored all die cut pieces with markers. Stamped the dark bg trees then adhered all die cuts to the card. Stamped, colored, and fussy cut 3 SU flowers. Adhered to flower garden with pop ups. Added garden tool brads, clear bling on 2 birds for eyes, pearls for golf balls. Used a black gel pen to add more shading and details. Whew! I'm tired!

Wow, this card was certainly a labor of love. What an awesome card you created with all those details. It must have taken you hours to put this together. Your son is a lucky guy to have his mom make a special card for him. I also want to thank you for leaving that nice comment on my card today. I really appreciate that a lot.
