Crisp Days of the Fall

Hi there

just finished another project

using Nellie  my Ecraft and another Svg cuts file
Called Crisp Days of Fall

i used thicker card for this 250gsm 

some of the scoring was a tad out on thicker card but hey i still got a lantern lol

i found this one  alittle fiddly to make up if im honest 

never the less Nellie did well again and i had fun making it up so all’ well that ends well as they say

i hope you have had a great day

playing with my E craft again

good morning everyone

 i had to have ago at this little project it's from a

Svgcuts cutting file

called Mothers Garden

have you visited Svg cuts  ? its a fantastic site for cutting files

i decided to use the 3d watering can and some flowers that are also included

i used a3 light weight white card stock.. i don't have any 12x12"pre printed scrapbook paper here 

and  i wanted to do some stamping and distressing so all was well...

the stamp i used is from Inkylicious called wild meadow

ink pads are big and juicy  (spice) and tim holtz wild honey and shabby shutter

  and card candi

i used the Collall all purpose glue as that dries very quickly and has a firm bond once dry, along side 3d gel on the flowers

from

Crafters Companion 

im very surprised it's quite sturdy when assembled... i fiddled about a bit as i had glued the top on  the watering can before i attached the spout and handle not a good idea lol.... 

will know for next time 

i really enjoyed making this little project  and for a first attempt im very pleased how it turned out

its about 6-1/2" high  not a small project at all would make a great gift for anyone into flowers

i have 3 extra flowers cut out so will put together a matching card  tomorrow

didn't Nellie (E craft) do well !
