Today I would like to share with you a 'card' I have made for my dad's birthday. Its made using a die from Eileen hull for a watering can - dad is still a gardener when he can - so I thought this was a good idea.
He also loves green - so I thought that would be a good colour for some of the flowers made using JOFY stamps coloured with distress markers.
The can was cut in more board from my local picture framer. I covered it in foil tape from ranger which I altered using picket fence distress paint and black soot distress ink.
the stamps were stamped and cut out - my watering can is a niche for these jofy flowers - I would like to enter my can into the latest paperartsy challenge which is all about niches.
I would also like to enter this into the following other challenges:
Thanks for visiting me today and I hope you have a very happy Thursday.
Hugs

Your Dad will love it xx Jan
ReplyDeleteWhat a great die and card Rachel, all of the watering can dies I've seen in the past have been small. The flowers look wonderful and I'm sure that your Dad will love it. Good to hear you've had a lovely day.
