Grand Oak and Garden Pots

Good Sunday morning.  My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge and Windsor was our inspiration site. .  I was inspired by all the colorful flowers in the sundress shown below. They looked like a flower garden to me.

Here’s what I came up with.  I cut the tree using white cardstock and colored it with a few green and brown Copic markers. For those of you who have known me a long while you know that I always favor watercoloring and that I am absolutely Copic challenged.  LOL!  A lovely friend gave me the Copic 25th Anniversary Set as a gift recently and I decided I’d better start using them. I cut the garden pots using rust cardstock and shaded them with a dark brown marker and the blender pen.

I attached lots of punched branch foliage to each of the pots and added different colored tiny flowers. I cut the garden tools and applied versa and gold embossing powder  and heated. I scuffed up the gold powder when it was hot to give the tools an aged look. I cut grasses to create the border of the scene.

I attached the clouds and the oak to the card base with mounting tape. I applied two layers of grass to the card base using ATG adhesive  and tucked a few taller grass sprigs in behind for interest.  I attached the individual flower pots and tools in place behind the grass with mounting tape.  Here’s a closer look.  I think they are so cute.  I wish my yard was this pretty.

I finished by adding a few butterflies to the scene for another element of color and softness.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend.

This is so pretty I just want to cry!!!! I am staring at every single little teeny weeny detail and I feel like, well, IT IS a miniature scene--like belongs just outside in the garden of a doll house! You just bring tears to my eyeballs Kittie. Keep 'em coming. I have boxes and boxes of tissue.

Wow....yet another awesome, beautiful Spring scene. I have everything but the lovely tree die. Perhaps I can make my own and CASE. A lot of time went into this little masterpiece...all those tiny flowers. I just got my new grass die. I have 4 different kinds now...guess a girl can't have too much grass.. as long as there are no weeds attached...haha

Your garden tree card is just amazing! I love the way you have raised it off the background and the little tools and flowers growing are so sweet. This is pretty enough to frame!
Thank you for sharing! :)
