Hello Sweet Friend Card Featuring Lovely Layers: Wishing Well

Hello Honey Bee friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made that features the beautiful Lovely Layers: Wishing Well.  The Scene Builder die sets have always been a favorite of mine and I was happy to get to use one again!  I love how these older and new products work together!

First I die cut the Lovely Layers: Wishing Well dies from light gray and 80# white cardstock.  I used various brown and gray inks to color most of the pieces with Detail Blender Brushes.  I had fun using three different shades of gray inks on the wishing well stones.  Then I splattered the stones with white acrylic paint.  For some reason it started smudging off even after it dried.  So I just used a clean paper towel to smudge it and it turns out, I liked the look!

To color the smaller pieces that I wanted more detail on (the well handle, the bucket, and rope) I used a few Copic markers.

Next I followed the Layering Guide to adhere the layers with Bee Creative glue.

I pulled out the Farmhouse Fields Scene Builder Cover Plate die and cut it out from 80# white cardstock.  To color the scene, I used the coordinating stencil set with Blender Brushes and various shades of green inks and a brown ink.

I trimmed the left edge of the colored scene with my paper trimmer.  Before I glued the scene to my A2 card base, I inked on some blue ink for the sky.

I wanted some more color on the card, so I die cut white cardstock with three of the floral dies found in the Lovely Layers: Front Porch Spring Add-On set.  I used blending brushes for some quick coloring of the layers.  Then I used glue to adhere the layers together.  These remind of wildflowers that might be growing at the base of a wishing well!

The wishing well and flowers are adhered to the card base with foam tape.  Then I stamped the sentiments from the So Special stamp set with black pigment ink.  I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered each one with a double layer of foam tape.

I totally love this scene and hope you do too!  Also, I hope you've been inspired to give this type of scene card a try.  It's fun!  Have an awesome and crafty week!!
