Sometimes an idea for a card or technique for that card ends up being more work than I originally planned. Such was the case with this card. I used digital stamps by From the Heart, making a design similar to the sketch. The cut and place, moving images over and over for placement stretched my patience but then after printed it out, I realized I did not leave enough room at the top of the page so I had to start all over moving each section, etc! But I really like how it turned out. It was worth the frustrations. Isn't she cute?
I colored this according to the optional colors listed in the FTH challenge, using Copics. I fussy cut a few extra flowers and popped them up on dimensional tape. The grass is a Your Next Stamp die. The clouds are Memory Box.
Here is the sketch I used:
