The Vicki Project part 1

I was actually in the right place at the right time for a change and snagged a couple of new die cuts to play with. The die is distributed by Accucut and was designed by Vicki Chrisman. She was offering on her blog, This art that makes me happy, a chance to try out the die cuts. It was an offer I couldn't resist.

The base is a triptych and can be used as a standing project as shown or it can be folded for a dimensional card. The 3 large flower panels are from Crafty Secrets as are the pink and green patterned papers.

This is the center panel. The shadow helps to give you some idea of the 1/2" depth of the frame which forms the shadow box.

The little seed catalogue is made from a vintage image and several "pages" of cardstock that have been distressed and held together with 2 staples from the Tim Holtz mini attacher.

The bunny image is from a vintage postcard with a watering can added for watering the flowers. Notice the tiny seed packets I added to her basket.

And what good is a watering can without water? The water drops have been made with the help of a clear Gelly Roll glitter pen.

For the final panel, I embellished with a variety of watering cans and more tiny flowers. The top watering can is giving up its last drop to the nasturtium. You just can't see it in the picture.
