I recently completed a Queens ATC swap and my partner Oliva very kindly enclosed some off cuts of design card and this pretty stamped and coloured wheelbarrow of flowers. Looking through them I thought how well these three designs went together and decided to make a card using them up. I managed to get 3 of the smallest XCut nestie die "Square Parenthis" out of each one and arranged them in a grid pattern onto a square of pale green card stock which I distressed around the edges with my handy T.H. gadget and a distressed ink pad in Stormy Sky. I then matted to a blank blue card base. The ribbon came from my stash and the buttons are a 1" cherry flower punch that I cut out in shrink plastic. I coloured using promarkers to match the flowers in the wheelbarrow and punched holes before shrinking with my heat gun. As I have used snippets of the card and shrink plastic am entering into Pixies Crafty snippets.
