Just Swinging By

Hello crafters!
 Another month passed away so quickly. Hope you're having a good week so far! The weather is warm and sunny in Delhi.
    I am thrilled to have been chosen for GD spot at Crafting by Designs in their fun challenge which is Anything goes this month. And here is my Swinging Side Stepper card. I used a cute free image from Dearie Dolls. This is my second creation using this image.

I coloured my image with promarkers and fussy cut out it. My card base is textured turquoise blue, lemon yellow and white CS. I adhered the coloured image using pop dots on a frame die cut using Spellbinder Shapeabilities just Swingin'. I stamped a bird from WE R Memory keepers( Love Bird Set ) using Versa inks and highlighted it with silver pen and added a black rhinestone as an eye. I also coloured the tree with promarkers.

I  added Couture creations intricutz Dies fences and Chloe(the yellow one)which is used as a peacock enjoying the spring season in this garden . To the image panel I wrapped a blue striped ribbon through the fence and tied a bow adding  a button with yellow twine. I also added a golden thin lace  at the bottom.

 

The front step has the free digi garden image from Knitting and.com and I daubered the background using Versamark pigment inks. I used Jef 5 petals punch to make these lovely blue bloom. The second step has a cute free sentiment and  on the last step , I added a rose flower made with golden grosgrain ribbon. I attached  hand cut leaves using  light green glittered felt and heat embossed the veins using wow golden glittered powder. I left the panel blank for the message.

     I finished off the card with some embellishments using pearls , gems and rhinestones too. It was so much fun to decorate the side stepper card. Hope you like it!!!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
