Happy Planting and Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our very first blog hop with Beth Duff Designs . Today I am featuring the set Happy Planting. My take on this set was a little different to others. As soon as I saw the peas in the pod I thought of babies! It is always handy to have a baby card on hand so I gave it a shot.

Firstly I stamped out a couple of the pea images, then using my copics I coloured them in. I used YG23 YG25 YG67. The I grabbed my white gel pen and added little highlights. I will admit, this is my first time using this technique. I love how others do it and have to say I am happy with how they look.

Next up I die cut out some different sized polaroid pieces. Removed the middles and hand drew a leaf and the stem of a pea plant. Coloured them first with copics then added the outline (just in case it smudged while colouring). Sponged SU Marina's Mist in the background.

Using MFT Scallop borders I cut out the border on the patterned paper (Lawn Fawn) and some white cardstock, which I added underneath. Adhered these together. Then adhered these to the SU Lemon Lime Twist card front. Stamped a couple of bows from the SU Santa's Sleigh stamp set. Die cut, coloured in same colour as the peas and added a rhinestone to each and popped them on each end of the scallop border. And then added a trio of rhinestones in the middle at the bottom. I just love when a set can be versatile and Happy Planting is one of them.
