Italian Garden

So this is the gorgeous set that I got to Sneak Peek for you early last week with the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges...I hope it enticed you :)  The Design Team will show you so much more today!

Oh I love how this image makes you feel like going to Italy or cooking up an Italian Feast!  Isn't the combination of elements in this little scene gorgeous?  As you can see in the background layer I stamped the pot of basil image onto the textured Soft Suede layer and sponged the edges, warming it up even more.  

Then above on the main image I colored it up with Copic Markers and then added some sponging inside the Spellbinders template to also warm it up.  I added a big gingham bow.  

And here you can see the basil stamp detail over-stamped with the sentiment.  Isn't this the sweetest sentiment and font?  I accented it with red nailheads laid on the Basic Grey Kraft Designer Paper.  

One of us on the Design Team is the Mystery Blogger again today :)  Be sure to comment on all the DT member blogs for a better chance in entering to win this set!  

I'll be back at Noon Central time with the Daily Challenge sample for you and MORE from this gorgeous set!  So please drop back.  I think you'll "flip".  :)
