This is my "outdoor scene"
A while back I made this card for our granddaughter's First Communion. I used the Marianne Design "Arched Window" (CR1259) referencing a chapel.
The brick wall is made with the embossing and cutting die DF3403 from Marianne Design.
For the grass I used the MS punch.
For my trees I used two "woodland die cut branches" from Memory Bow.
They where sponged with Distress Ink, as is the top of the window.
I added little punched green leaves and embroidered paillete flowers with a yellow bead in the center to both branches.
My little girl is from an old decoupage sheet, cut by hand and made 3D.
My sentiment is computer generated , saying:"
"A girly smile
a sunny day
a little rascal
who does her First Communion" .

What a precious card for your granddaughter! Everything about your card is fabulous. And I don’t think you are old enough to have a granddaughter this old! In my mind, you are very very young so stay that way.
Such a wonderful card! The details are amazing! Love the dimensional window and the sparkling flowers. This will be a treasured card! Thanks for sharing at Jo's Scrap Shack.
Blessings,

Oh my, So many wonderful details in the beauty! The little girl is so sweet. The die cut window and the greeting inside is great. The trees, well they just go right along with all the other fantastic elements of this card!
