Happy almost spring (in the Northern Hemisphere)! Today, I am sharing a whimsical, spring-themed card created with Rubbernecker supplies.
Create the card base
- Stamp Kittie Says Spring Time sentiment on a white cardstock panel in VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
- Place vellum strip 2 1/4 inches below sentiment. Apply blue ink upwards for sky.
- Place vellum strip above the horizon line and apply brown ink for the ground.
- Trim inked panel to A2 size and add to card base.
Create the die-cut elements
- Color white cardstock with a variety of inks from which to cut the pots, watering can, flowers, and gnomes.
- Die-cut Tulips and Stems from inked cardstock.
- Die-cut garden pots with the Large Garden Pots die set. Glue bases to bottoms of the pots. Apply darker ink to edges to create the illusion of volume.
- Die-cut gnomes with Gnome Couple set from inked cardstock. Assemble with glue.
- Die-cut spade with Cart Accessories #1 set from inked cardstock and metallic cardstock. Trim inked handle and glue onto metallic spade.
Final Assembly
- Add elements to card base, starting with the garden pots (tulips and girl gnome are taped to the back of the pots). Build depth by adding the male gnome and watering can with foam adhesive.
That is just a riot! Love that gnome inside the pot. Using a vellum strip sounds like a great tip.
Oh how fun, those gnomes are so sweet.
