Guest Designer - Die Cuttin Divas: Challenge #61 - National Garden Month

I have the honour of joining the wonderful design team this week over at Die Cuttin Divas for Challenge #61 - National Garden Month. I am sharing this experience with with my friend Jessica at Craftin' and Scrapin'. I want to start by thanking Georgiana and the rest of the design team at Die Cuttin Divas for this opportunity. 


Last time I used these boots from Cricut cartridge Paisley I was so happy with how it turned out, that I wanted to use them again. I had an idea to have flowers spilling out of the gardening boots. I didn't have a flower punch so I used the next best thing hearts. I glued two hearts to the top of some floral wire, that I found at the Dollar Store. I curled then in the end of a paint brush and adhered them the the back of the boot. I used a dotted embossing folder on the boot and embellished them with buttons. I tried to keep the colours earthy and I finished it all off with some gardening twine and another heart. 


I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. Link your project at Die Cuttin Divas.
