OCL Blog Hop, Day 2!

If you have been around for very long, you know that I love Granny!  Some of my most favorite cards of all of the time I've been a card-maker were made with Granny!  I was tickled to see that this OCL mini-release includes Growin' with Granny!  You already knew that she LOVES the beach, but now you can find her in the garden!  She's got a green thumb!  LOL!  This sentiment is one I can relate to lately!

You should have arrived here from OCL owner and cardmaker extraordinaire Cambria Turnbow's blog!  What an honor and privilege to be her blog hop neighbor today!

This fun fold was the perfect layout to showcase Granny in her garden glory!  I used Copic blending paper, coloring and shading my focal image with Copic markers.  I chose this Echo Park Summer Days designer paper because the flowers mimic the blossoms on Granny's gardening dress.  I cut the strips to fit within the framework of the card design, adding a sentiment on a Spellbinders grommet tag accented with Copic-colored-to-match pearls.  Using a multi-liner to outline the edges draws attention to the geometric design of the layout and tag.  A big button tied with jute adds some simple interest.
