This is for FS793 and Wendy Fee aka Mingo is our featured artist this week. Congratulations, Wendy. I had a great time browsing through your gallery. I finally settled on Honeybee Home & Picture This Congratulations by Mingo at Splitcoaststampers. I was inspired by the three frame openings and the flowers in the background. I kept the frame and floral theme but not the bees. I changed the color combination to spring colors. My three rectangle frames were cut evenly across the card front instead of offset and different sizes. I used die cut watering cans and flower bouquets to fill in my frames. I added a sentiment layer along the bottom of my frames and used a different sentiment.
If you are interested in the details of this card I have a video on my YouTube channel that shows how I colored these cans and how I designed the small bouquets.

Kittie, I've just watched the video of how you coloured the cans! Thanks for that, it will help me next time I want to do the same. Your little trio today are gorgeous, especially with the blue base card. Wonderful case x

As always you have created a gorgeous textural scene exploding with color and interest. Every time I see one of your cards I start to run off to buy all the flower dies. And then I think, could I, would I? And I it's "nay" and I laugh at myself. But maybe one day. Your gorgeous creations keep tempting me. As soon as I finish commenting, I'll head over to your YouTube channel to pick up some tips. Happy Easter and thanks for the inspiration and the instruction.
