I stamped the moles from the I dig you stamp set. I did a little masking for the left moles. I fussy cut the images leaving an white border and colored the images with Copic markers.
For the seed pocket, I used the Hero Arts Produce labels set and added a couple elements from the Fall harvest set from Papertrey Ink. I then aged the pocket with Distress oxides, Scattered straw, Vintage photo and Ground espresso. I then trimmed the top right corner of the pocket.
I die cut all the background elements from white cardstock and used Distress oxides to color them: Vintage photo for the fence, trellis and wood sign and then printed a wood pattern, using the Wood plank background from My Favorite Things and Distress oxide Ground espresso.
I also used the same color combo on the two earth borders.
For the greenery, I blended Twisted citron and Rustic wilderness. I also used Pine needles on some of the stems and the ivy leaves.
For the veggies, I used Pumice stone, Milled lavender and Wilted violet on both the onion and the turnip, Picked raspberry and Festive berries on the radish, and finally, Mustard seed, Carved pumpkin and Crackling campfire on the carrot.
For the brick wall, I started by blending Pumice stone on a piece of white cardstock, before running it through my die cutting machine using the Brickwork embossing folder. I then dabbed Weathered wood and also used a brush to blend some more. Finally, I dabbed Black soot to darken the most prominent bricks.
To finish the background elements, I blended Distress oxide Tumbled glass on the top of the background panel. I also stamped the sentiments on the wood sign, using the I dig you set for the "Holy moley" sentiment and the Around the garden stamp from Spellbinders for the "Love grows here" sentiment.
To assemble the card, I started by weaving the ivy branches inside the trellis and then glued the trellis on the brick wall. I glued the fence on the left of the panel and then adhered the wall on the right with thin foam tape.
I glued the tall grass border over the fence. I then adhered a first earth border on top, with thin foam tape at the bottom, leaving the top of the border free to tuck in two of the veggies, which I glued.
I then adhered the second earth border with thicker foam tape and tucked the two other veggies at the back of it, as well as the wood sign.
I adhered the seed pocket on the top left corner with foam tape and trimmed the top and left edges sticking out of the panel.
Finally, I adhered the moles with a mix of thin and thick foam tapes.
To end the card, I die cut seeds from the Watermelon slice die, from My Favorite Things, and blended Twisted citron. I adhered them below the opening of the seed pocket, layering two for more dimension. I then added some accents with a green and white gel pens.
