This is my sample for CC526. Vicki is our hostess and she chose tempting turquoise, rose red and island indigo for her color trio. Dessert is to use flowers.
I decided to create an outside garden scene this week. My inspiration came from this card from the KittieKraft blog. I added some layers and the tree to give it my touch.
I am sending this to my niece who is battling breast cancer and I wanted something uplifting for her.
I cut my tree from the Taylored Expressions shade tree die. The bg embossing is the Stampin-Up cloudy day folder. I brayered the embossing folder with turquoise ink to add a little bg color.
My hilly slope is cut with the Lawn Fawn stitched hillside borders die in turquoise.
I recently purchased the Impression Obsession wheelbarrow die and this week was the perfect opportunity to use it.
The wheelbarrow is cut with island indigo cs and the flowers are from the Poppy Stamps wildflower patch die.
I finished up my card by adding the die cut "you". I cut it several times for dimension and layered the choc chip slightly offset.
My sentiment on the wheelbarrow is from the same SSS set "expressions for you". I bought this after I saw a card made by Peggy. She is quite the enabler.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next CC Fave of the week or even our next guest designer. Check out the CC526 Post to see the surprise from last week's bingo game.
