Pretty Florals ~ Double D Challenge

Hey there crafty friend!  I'm so glad you stopped in.  Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge today and the theme is "Pretty Florals".  
Now who doesn't have a ton of florals in their crafty arsenal??
My biggest dilemma for this challenge was deciding which floral set I was going to use.

I finally decided on the Rainboot Planter from Simon Says Stamp.  I had just a few sheets left from Carta Bella's Spring Market Collection that needed to be used up and the rainboots on the printed paper went perfectly with these wellies.

I cut the wellies from a piece of printed paper from the pack and then paper pieced the flowers, which I colored with Copic markers.  I laid the boots over a vellum overlay to soften the papers behind the boots.



Still trying to use up the last bits of paper, I made another card just like it.
The same but different.  ;0)


Please do pop on over to Double D Challenges for a look at what my talented team mates have been up to and join in on the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

These are delightful! Who wouldn't want to wear a pair of cute boots like those! I remember using that paper collection for one of my Twelve Kits!

This is so darn cute, Birgit! I need those leafy wellies! Love how you've used your paper, and I admire that you've actually finished off a collection. I've only done that maybe two or three times EVER. And such pretty paper it is! All your cards are beautiful and fun!

Every time I see cute 'Wellies' like these I want a pair - I'm quite sure my husband would NOT go outside with me if I wore them!
How perfect they are with this darling paper, Birgit - of course I couldn't love your tulips more!

Fantastic cards, Birgit! I love this CB collection and ordered 2 of them. Still using up bits and pieces. The wellie images are my favorite. You chose a perfect flower image to pair with them. Love the different backgrounds too but I think I like the black newsprint best. Both make me want to play in my flower garden
