It’s my day on the Memory Box blog. I love the Rustic Watering Can die. It’s the perfect size to hold a flower arrangement.
I die cut and assembled a LOT of flowers and foliage from the Arched Flower Basker recently, and chose primarily yellow and orange ones for this bouquet. The watering can was die cut from gray cardstock. I added a little darker ink blending to add some interest and dimension. After creating a card base from white woodgrain cardstock, I die cut a slightly smaller panel with the Heritage Rectangle Frame die and layered it on the card base. Once the watering can was added to the panel, I spent some time arranging the foliage and flowers in the can, tucking some behind others and some peeking out from the top of the watering can.
I chose one of the White Gold Foiled Greeting Tags for the sentiment, adding two tiny flowers as embellishment.
I’m sending this off to AAA Birthday Challenge where they’re celebrating their 6th birthday with an Anything Goes Challenge and to Darnell’s NBUS. The watering can is making its debut.
“My watering can runneth over” … With an abundance of beautiful flowers! Love the exuberance of this!
Lovely card. The details in the watering can, gives a sense of realness to it – like the tin metal of the one I have filled with flowers sitting on the steps of our patio.
Oh, this is really stunning. Love your choice of die cuts and colours! Thanks for joining in with AAA Birthday’s 7th birthday celebrations. Hope to see you play along with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Gorgeous card Karen. Great die cuts and I love how you’ve done some subtle shading on each element. Thanks for joining us at AAA Birthday – Tristan DT
