Herb Garden

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog today.
I don’t know about you, but I adore fresh kitchen herbs myself. I combined some dies and made a card with herb garden.


- CottageCutz dies: Planter Box & Seeds, Flower Power Tomte, Gardening Cat (basket), Square Set, Cross-Stitched Square Set
- blank card: 5 5/16 x 5 5/16" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 1/8 x 5 1/8" (13 x 13 cm)
- kraft cardstock: 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 " (13 x 13 cm)
- different colors of cardstock
- different colors of ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

First die-cut all the pieces for main image out from different colors of cardstock. Shade all cutouts with ink pads.


Later, I stamped the names of the kitchen herbs on the sign and added a birdhouse to the top.



Trim three squares. Using two square dies, cut out two frames. Glue both frames together. Paste a small square to the back of the frame.



Start assembling the card. 


Thank you for stopping by. 
Janja

Love this little herb garden scene Janja- we just had our first harvest of basil from my hubby’s garden and my first batch of pesto of the season

Ditto on the shading, it is superb and really brings the images to life. The recipient is a lucky person, because this is gorgeous!
