Spring Awakening Stage 2

"Drops" is Stage 2 of the Spring Awakening Challenge at the Charmed Scrap Blog. 

Here’s my Shaker Card. This is for my mother, of course. She just turned 85, and she can’t wait to get out to her garden where she is the happiest. 

There's a sketch to follow for this challenge. And I chose to work with the blue (doily), green (background), and mustard colors (Shaker frame) from the palette provided.

I knew, for my mother, I would have to start with the “MyGardening” Collection from BeeShabby.

I fussy cut a few items, but the sweet part was the Shaker items. I used the gold printed film from the same collection for the “window”. The inside panel of the Shaker is cut from a sheet in the same collection.

I've represented the "drops" with a few dew drops and the beads in the Shaker.

Topped it off with a few of my tiny flowers made with a set of LadyBug dies.

Thanks for stopping by.

See you next week!

TagMania - Stage 3

Hi Everyone!

I’m back for Stage 3 of TagMania at the Wind of Change Blog. This stage requires an element of SHADOW.

I was going for a garden outside of a café with this window die. It doesn’t cut very thick paper, so I had to glue several layers together, and still couldn’t get it thick as I wanted. ☹

The therapy came with fussy cutting all these tiny bits from this beautiful BeeShabby paper from HERE and HERE. I layered back with some chip to create more depth from the window.

I don’t know that I met the Shadow requirement too well, but I didn’t want to quit. 😊

This tag will be for my Mother because she LOVES her garden. She’s also crazy about sunflowers.

Hope to see you for the next stage!
