Freshly Harvested by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi dear friends!  Welcome to my DT post today for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge which starts today.  This week's theme (#551) encompasses so many wonderful things that are found in nature.  

THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH 

I chose the adorable Freshly Harvested image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps for my card.  I drew the background, and coloured the image and background with Copic markers.

Garden Bouquet

A good morning to you!  It's a beautiful sunny day and I can hear the birds chirping.  All my flowers, bushes and trees are starting to bloom and my koi are happily swimming around their pond.  Such a beautiful season!  Today,  I am showcasing my DT card made with Conie Fong's gorgeous "Garden Bouquet" image, found here:

I wanted to create something different and not include flowers since this image already has such glorious flowers.  I decided to make a background for it and so I fussy cut it. I thought a fence would be perfect but since I didn't have a large fence die, I used Stampin' Up's "Hardwood" clear mount stamp  https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/133035/hardwood-clear-mount-stamp. 

 I coloured it up, cut the individual pieces and inked them.  I remember seeing this done a while ago on Pinterest and thought I would try it too.  Finally, I raised the image with 3-D dots.

Here is a close-up:

I used a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils. The larger butterflies and grass are dies by Cheery Lynn and the tiny butterflies are by Marianne Creatables.  Swarovski crystals are from my stash.  I hope you have a lovely day!  Lori P xx
