This is my card for Cathy's WT580 ~ Plant a Tree challenge. The front doesn't quite match in style but keeps with the theme.
This was my first attempt at using the garden bench die. I added a die-cut tree behind it (cut from white card, green Liquid Pearls on the leaves, then when they were dry I sponged it with brown ink). Flit the butterfly is on a little concertina-folded strip of acetate, Chloe and Rosie both have little pop-up boxes tucked in behind them. I've added a close-up detail shot in the challenge thread where you can see the little pop-up boxes I added. Initially I just stuck Chloe to the bench with a tab, reckoning whoever got the card would know to make her sit up - but DH said I had to make her a proper pop-up too!!
I used old Making Memories papers to line the card with, and added some old Prima flowers to the grass.
My thanks to everybody who supports all the site volunteers by using the Amazon link . I usually treat myself to something I wouldn't have bought from my own budget, and this die was part of my "Moddy Christmas" purchases this year.
