For my card, I combined a few stamp sets—Growing Garden, Gardening, and Garden Gnomes—to create a cheerful garden scene. I colored the images with Copic Markers and then used my Scan N Cut machine to cut them out with precision. For the background, I blended Distress Oxide inks, Salty Ocean to the top and Walnut Stain to the bottom, creating a soft, vibrant gradient.
To frame the scene, I used a stitched square die to cut out the panel, and adhered it to a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2-inch white card base. I carefully arranged the images and secured them with liquid adhesive for the smaller elements and foam tape for the ones I wanted to pop up. To enhance the outdoor feel, I added some stitched clouds and a sun, which helped set the scene. Finally, I stamped the sentiment directly onto the panel for a clean and crisp finish.
