August Blog Hop

     Today is the 25th of the month.  This means PTI is hosting its monthly Blog Hop. The theme this month is based upon this image. 

 

     One is to create a card by focusing on the colors, the motifs, or the idea of incorporating books or book-

print or even jars.  For my card, I was inspired by the suitcase, the color red and the flowers.

  The gardening tools are from Garden Variety.  I didn't have the die so I fuzzy cut them, and only glued the bottom half behind the basket.  They are stamped in Sepia, the same color as the basket. I also fussy cut the watering can from Garden Variety.

  

The flowers (Flower Fusion #4) are stamped with Berry Sorbet with Cantaloupe (Memento) centers. The leaves are from Harvest Berries.  All the flowers are propped up with dimensionals while only some areas of the leaves are propped up.

    Overall, I am pleased with the way this card turned out since it has so much texture.
