I need to say Happy Birthday to my Granddaughter. I started by cutting and folding my Bermuda Bay CS. I then covered the panels with designs from the Lullaby DSP and added the bridge across the bottom. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the images from the Garden Girl stamp set. I did an extra basket, 3 fences, 3 butterflies, several of the flower patch on 4 different colors and a second dress and hair bows in Bermuda Bay. From a scrap of vellum I made patterns for the collar, cuffs and pockets, lined them up with the designs on the DSP, cut them out and adhered them to the dress. I stamped the flower patch on the lower part of the center section, added the flowers in random colors, then glued a fence panel and grass on top tucking more flowers between the boards. On the little center panel I adhered the rabbit, the second basket and some die cut grass. I stamped the flower patch on a second fence panel, again added random colored flowers then attached these last 2 fence panels to the front, adding the girl, grass and extra flowers. I stamped and punched the sentiment and its backing scalloped oval, glued it together, added the flowers and popped it up on dimensionals. The 3 butterflies were added and the bird was perched on one of the fence boards. I used silver Dazzling Details to add some sparkle to the flower centers, the butterflies and her hair bows.

What a gorgeous card for your granddaughter! It is a true labour of love and I'm sure she'll love it! I love your log fence with flowers and lawn. The little details like the vellum embellishments to the dress really lift this up to a new level. Thank you so much for joining us at As You See It, Eunice.

Thank you Heather and Jan. This card was a lot of work, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Heather you asked about fussy cutting. Everything except the grass, the oval circle and the scalloped oval was fussy cut. I cut out a LOT of flowers, and I used every one! After all that cutting I wasn't going to waste even one, lol.
