Summer Gardening Scene

Happy first day of Summer 2025! DT Annalisa here and I’m excited to share a fun gardening-themed card featuring the new Cacti Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I absolutely love the bunny with his watering can!

To create the background, I sprayed Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Spray onto the Flirty Flowers Stencil and then pressed it onto watercolour paper. After removing the stencil, I spritzed the panel with water and added splatters using Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Five Windows Cover Die to create a white frame, which I adhered to the green panel using liquid glue. I then attached this to a card base.

For the soil area, I used Ground Espresso, Walnut Stain, and Scorched Timber Distress Watercolour Pencils on watercolour paper. I glued a slim strip of this paper to the bottom of the largest window frame.

I stamped several images, colored them with Copic markers, and added white gel pen accents. The sets I used, along with their coordinating dies, include Cacti Critters, Boat Buddies, Hey There Critters, Fruitful Friends, Ewe Are The Best, and Ewe Are Moovellous.

Finally, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to attach the images to the card base, and I added Stickles to some of them to complete the card.
