Happy Happy Days

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this cheerful card for my design team post. I used a couple of fun dies from the Gardening release.

I selected the Garden Wheelbarrow for the focal point of my card and opted to use the accessories from the Gardening Cat die set.  The grass is from the Spring Grass die set. I went with a rustic theme for all of my die cuts, inking the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I created my own background with a brick themed stencil and some Oxide Ink.  Then I used more Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges of my card panel.  I fussy cut a couple pieces of kraft card stock to replicate shelves.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece of card stock and embellished with an extra die cut flower.  I also inked the sentiment tag on the edges.

To create my gardening scene, I placed the strip of grass along the bottom edge of my card base and added the wheelbarrow.  The 2 shelves were floated at the top half of my card.

Each of the shelves were accessorized with the watering can, rain boots, apron and basket of flowers.

The shovel was tucked into the grass.  The sentiment tag was the final finishing accent on my card.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:
