This is for FS204 and Marisa- whiterockmama is our featured artist today. Congratulation, Marisa, I had a great time surfing through your gallery. Here is a link to the card that inspired me. WRM - Green, green and more green by whiterockmama at Splitcoaststampers I was inspired by MArisa's layout and double ribbon embellishment. I changed the color combination to green, cream and pink and changed from a sentiment focus to a garden gate image by Rubbernecker. I kept very close to Marisa's layout but just removed a layer or two.
I stamped the garden gate and watercolord using a watercolor brush, water and reinker. I stamped a few mini fern images around the ground area to add a little texture. I used a cuttlebug folder to create the top embossed main layer and then l I layered the image over a scalloped border layer and then over the double ribbon. I punched several evergreen sprigs (these sprigs are not just for Christmas), stamped them with the mini fern stamp to add color and attached around the bottom of the gate image with Glossy Accents as well as under the main layer on the scalloped side. I added a few tiny popped up punched flowers with Glossy Accents to the sprigs of foliage and used yellow liquid pearls to the centers. I love the garden effect the flowers and greenery added to this sweet gate image.

Love the dry embossing on this one, and the border punch really pops the gate....
