Hello! Today I am sharing a card with a rustic garden feel, which combines several Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. The design features a weathered wooden barrel containing roses and lush greenery, a birdhouse, set on a patterned paper background for added texture. A simple tag tucked into the arrangement finishes the scene. I originally set out to make a Fourth of July scene, but the design morphed along the way!
-
- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base from textured white cardstock and add a patterned paper panel (49 and Market from a season or so ago).
- Cut the barrel, birdhouse, and birds with dies in the Floral Foliage 1 set from soft-finish cardstock. Color and assemble as required.
- Cut the roses and leaves with dies in the Roses set from soft-finish cardstock. Color the leaves and shape. Shape the roses. This video from Elizabeth Craft is a big help in shaping the elements.
- Cut additional greenery with dies in the Greenery Fillers 01 set (now retired) from soft-finish cardstock. Color and shape.
- Stamp the sentiment and cut with a tag die. I used a now-retired Stampin’ Up Timeless Tropical stamp and a Taylored Expressions tag die.
- Arrange and adhere the elements to the prepared card base.

that is GORGEOUS. The soft coloring on the birds and that fantastic barrel with the lovely roses is so eye catching.
