Basket of Blessing

Hi to all the lovely Bloggers out there!

Hope you are all very well and happy! Well today I need to share  some of the lovely sunshine we have been having in Cockburnspath! I just love the Sun! All the lovely Bees and the birds the sounds of the garden is so calming and so beautiful! I just love Mother Nature! When I was taking my photos there came a bee and sat on 1 of my flowers in my image, unfortunately I was just that second to slow to capture it in a picture. So it decided to come and sit on my camera while I was taken pictures.

Well it is Tuesday and another lovely challenge from SweetStamps.com

We have another Technique Challenge once a month and is ending on the 14 September. 

The theme for that challenge is Masking Technique 

***********

Here is my Recipe!

I am so into folded cards these days and is having fun!

Well I made a Stepper card with White Linen Card Stock
I layered it with a heavy Yellow Gingham Card Stock

Added RicRac on top of the ribbon to the bottom of the front stepper
and the top of the back step. 


I positioned and glued my flowers to give dimension and depth to the
basket

Did the same on the step of the stepper card too.

Added a double bow to the basket


Stepper from the side


I stamped this lovely combo of stamps from SweetStamps.com several times



Colored it in with my Promarkers and cut it all out and shaped them with a Embossing tool

Promarkers:
Canary, Soft Lime, Gold, Bright Orange
Apple Cider, Olive Green, March Green
Cocoa, Vanilla and Caramel


These lovely Butterflies are from Cheery Lynn Designs 


I added a bit of bling to the bodice and the antennas


I created a banner that has been held by the 2 butterflies

This lovely sentiment goes so well with this basket and flowers


I added a bow in the middle of these 2 Garlands to give the illusion that the 2 garlands
is held together with the bow in the middle 


 Well I hope you enjoyed this project of mine and hope I could be of some inspiration to you!

  3. WOW, this is awesome, love the step design you used. With all the layers, you made the flowers in the basket and on the front of the card look so real I can almost smell the daisies. Love the added bling on the butterflies and the little ribbon on the basket.
