Beary Beautiful's Garden

Hello Creative Crafters,


I made this card while juggling between many chores :) phewff!!! And its just in time for Phindy's Place Challenge. I used their image "Beary Beautiful". Isn't she really beautiful so I thought of setting her in a flower :) and giving a card a 3D garden theme. Hope I did justice with the image as well as with the challenge theme!!

Here is a closer look of Beary Beautiful...

The DPs I used are from Best Occasions. I cut the pink DP in flower shape and set the digi in center. The petals are rolled in using pencil to give a flower a natural look. The other side of the card has a bed of flowers spread on a form sheet. The flowers are cut outs using McGill punches. I set the sentiment as a garden board, cutting a circular sheet and shaving the border with my pair of scissors for an asymmetric look. The stamps are from Inkadinkado. I pasted this sheet on a pair of toothpicks and make it stand on form sheet. I also used a silver glitter pen to highlight the sentiment.

This card is also going for these challenges:

Have a happy crafting!!
