Welcome to the first day of our week long CHA DT Blog Hop. We are using our new Fall/Winter stamps and dies. Mitra is also introducing them starting today at CHA at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, July 22 through 25. The details of the challenge are below my card details and the DT blog list.
For my card above I chose Aislinn Adam's new Prairie Plants and a sentiment from clear set Hydrangea. Below is how I put it together:
- stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and painted with Twinkling H2O's on white cardstock,
- used Spellbinders die as template to cut-out the image (a little Out-Of-The-Box technique around the edges when trimming).
- mounted flowers with 3D pop-dots
- added White Flower Soft to the left flowers
- used Glossy Accents on the yellow flowers and
- put a little FS in the middle of the flower and painted with orange.
- added 3mm pearl stickers to the corners and added yellow bow.
- stamped sentiment with Memento Olive on a 1/2"X3.5" strip of white cardstock mounted and trimmed on the cardfront edge.

Love how you mounted the flowers from the Prairie Plants. Beautiful!!

Great garden scene, the Flower soft is very effective. I have been round the blogs (very entertaining)and round the new products... suffice to say my wish list is BIG. It will need serious pruning before getting into the basket!
Posted by: Craftyfield | July 22, 2013 at 01:43 PM
Wonderful card. Haven't made many scene cards but looks like fun.
Posted by: Lynne | July 22, 2013 at 02:31 PM
Your card reminds me of a field of wildflowers just waiting for me to pick them. Thank you for making me "pick" my brain for new inspiration.

Lovely artwork in design and textures!
Posted by: Linda Carson | July 22, 2013 at 04:52 PM
beautiful card shirley! i love the texture and of course the colouring with twinks. the new release has a nice mix of sentiments, images and backgrounds but my fave is building a snowman - it's hilarious and i'm more of a christmas fan than halloween.
