Gift Box
Hi all- hope you are having a fun Fourth of July weekend!
Bloom Card
Hi everyone! Wow, I can’t believe it’s already July!
I used a bunch of dies in this card. The Watering Can is made from the 3D ScoreBoards die of the same name. I cut it from silver metallic paper, chopped off one of the watering cans, sanded it down to look old and rusted and adhered it to the front of the card.
The tissue paper flowers are cut from Flower, Layers #9, the butterfly is from Birds & Butterflies set and the grass is part of Flower, 3D #2. The word Bloom is from Bloom & Plant Markers and last but not least, the trusty Leaves die is used for the greenery.
The card background is a woodgrain stencil from Crafter’s Workshop– love that and use it all the time.
Back to work. I need to make a video, and as I have mentioned before, a 2 minute video takes me approximately 5 hours to make- ugh. I’m shooting for 4 1/2 this time 🙂 Wish me luck! Happy Fourth, in case I’m not back in time to say it…
