A Little Birdie Told Me...

If you like creating your own card design, you will LOVE this month's NEW Freebie from White Spruce Studio!

You will get 12 different digital downloads garden elements that you can mix and match and create a scene.. or you can just use one by itself!


For this card i first started with a digital paper background (the blue paper is free at Bonnie Kohane Craft Time Page).

I layered the fence on top of the digital paper in my "word/pages" program.

To get the fence to be more transparent, you need to find the "opacity" option. I can find that option on my Mac in Pages under "Format" and then "Style". I reduce the opacity to 22%. I love how that turned out! You can also do this in Photoshop using the opacity.

Next, i combined the Birdhouse and the Wheelbarrow. And because the images are PNG (transparent background) i can layer them on top of each other. I chose to layer the two images separately from the background with the fence, because i wanted some depth. But you can totally add the images on top the fence that has the lower opacity.

I then colored the images with colored pencils and hand cut it out and then layered it on top of the fence with double sided foam tape. (I actually die cut my background and made my card base before i added the cut out images with foam tape)

I have also used:
Spellbinders - Nested Postage Labels for the card base (and small stamp)
Spellbinders - Postage Number

Thank you for stopping by!
