Looks Like Spring

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut is "Looks Like Spring" (Any springtime project).


Well, I love to garden and that's the first thing I think of when spring comes around. I can't wait to get outside, be in the sunshine and start my gardens. I like my floral gardens, they always bring me joy to look at the beautiful flowers, but I love the vegetable garden. It brings me back to when I was a kid with my Grandfather. He gardened every year...sting beans, tomatoes, onions, eggplant...just to name a few. Oh, happy memories! I miss him....

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Two shades of Blue, Two shades of Orange, Green, Black, Red, Silver and Patterned Paper.
Cricut Cartridge Freshly Picked Tomato page 69 (Base, Shift Base, Layers Base and Words Base), Spade page 62 (Base and Shift Base), Rake page 60 (Base and Shift Base), Gloves 2 page 56 (Base), Flowers 5 (Pot) page 39 (Shift Base and Layers Base)
Cricut Design Studio (placement of paper and sizing)
Sizzix Embossing Folder Spring Flowers
Chalk: Charcoal and Red Orange (to give shadow)
Red Pigment Ink (on edge of tomato)
Brown Pigment Ink (to antique the silver on the spade and rake)

I hope that I may have inspired you to either make a spring card and/or get out there and try some gardening (plant something for me)...just imagine what you could do.....
