Love Blooms

This card really took a completely different course than I had intended.  Doesn't that often happen though, what you start out with in mind takes off on a completely different tangent.  

I used the gardening tools die cut which was part of the Frantic Stamper Inc March 15th Spring Release. I cut the subtle blue tools to create my background.  Then added some bright blooms from the Pretty Posies stamp set.  Finishing off with sentiments from the new stamp set, Spring is Blooming and a few matching sequins for some sparkle.  


I love how versatile these dies are.

Heres another card using the same Gardening Tools Set die to create a totally different look. On this one I coloured the tools to give them a no-line colour look.  Again the sentiment is from the Spring is Blooming Stamp set.

What fun use of the gardening tools on both creations, but that top one drew me in straight away. Gorgeous background details with the tools and so pretty with the blooms on top. Love it! Hugs, Wends x

I'm so jealous of your colouring technique!! I love the second card and the depth you were able to give the tools with just colour. Both are pretty cards :) (Kelly from the SG DT)
