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!!
