Interactive Gardening Card

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I'm excited to share a fun and interactive shutter card that I made using a mix of adorable stamp sets from Time For Tea Designs. The animal friends look like they're having a wonderful time in the garden!  

The following stamp sets were used to create this card:

Hey There Critters (sun and sunflower)

Cacti Critters (butterfly and bunny)

Seasons Tweetings (tree branch and greenery)

I Really Dig You (gardening tools)

Book Buddies (worm)

Squeeze the Day (butterfly)

Fruitful Friends (bee)

Ewe Are The Best (heart flowers)

To make this interactive card, I used the ‘Shutter Card’ and ‘Shutter Card Add-On’ dies from Lawn Fawn, following their instructional videos on YouTube.

I ink-blended Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide over a cloud stencil for the sky, and Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness over a grass stencil for the grass, then added white splatter with a paintbrush and Copic Opaque White.

I stamped, coloured, and die-cut images from the listed sets, added white gel pen accents, glued them in place, and stamped the sentiment in the center opening.

For the band on the front of the card, I die-cut pattered paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad. I die-cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Dies from white card stock and ink-blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide. I  used the Scalloped Circle Dies to die-cut vellum paper and glued it behind the yellow circle. I used liquid glue to stick the mouse to the center of the circle.
