Hi everyone. Here is my third and final card for my card class this Saturday. After designing two elegant cards, I thought it would be fun to have something a little more whimsical ... a watering can full of spring flowers. Love the gingham watering can ... you can't go wrong with gingham (or polka-dots!). :)
This time I shaped the watering can rather than the leaves of the bouquet. I'm really happy how it turned out. The photograph doesn't show the 3-D effect, but trust me, it turned out well. I cut apart the pieces of the watering can (handle, spout, main part) so that I could sponge around all pieces for added dimension, but it also allowed me to shape each piece with my stylus and give them a "roundness".
Unfortunately, it's been a tough week for both my cousins, so they emailed me asking to postpone for a little while. Life can be stressful when working and going to school - so I totally understand. Good thing is I have the designs ready for whenever we can reschedule. :)

How cute! And this rounds out the trio beautifully! Love that yellow gingham (any gingham actually). And your shading gives the watering can so much dimension! So sorry your cousins can't make it tomorrow. But isn't it nice to be all ready for when they can come? Wish I could pop over!
Super cute, love how you've added dimension to that sweet little 'can.
