I had some fun creating this card using the flowers from the Garden Pail Bouquet 94889 and Milo Mouse 94900 to create a farmer going out to weed the flower garden. I think it will be the perfect card to send to a gardening friend.
materials used
- yellow card stock from SUNRISE SP1013
- green card stock from LUSH GREEN SP1003--the newest green card stock is GREENERY SP1011
- a scrap of green plaid left from another project
- watercolor paper (used the smooth side)
- the flowers from GARDEN PAIL BOUQUET 94889
- MILO MOUSE 94900
- an assortment of inks and fingertip daubers
- a tiny black Fairy Jewel for the Mouse's eye
- white A2 note card oriented with the fold at the top
to make this card
- cover the front of an A2 note card with one of the yellow card stock papers from Sunrise
- tear a piece of green card stock from Lush Green into two strips and add these to the bottom of the notecard, placing the tallest piece underneath securely glued down and adding the smaller narrower piece on top by just gluing the bottom, leaving space to tuck in the flower stems between the two layers
- die cut Milo Mouse and the flowers from the Garden Pail Bouquet from the smooth side of the watercolor paper
- color the images with assorted inks using fingertip daubers
- assemble the flowers and the mouse (be sure to add the Fairy Jewel eye!)
- attach the flowers to the front of the note card tucking some between the two green layers
- add Milo Mouse using dimensional foam dots
- cut some extra "weeds" from the scrap of green plaid and glue them to the note card
How cute is this! I've left plenty of room in the yellow card stock space to add an appropriate sentiment when I'm ready to send out the card. I do think it's the perfect "thinking of you" card for a friend who is always fighting with the garden weeds!
Happy Crafting!
