Windmill Fields Dies with Home and Gardens


 This is another one of those cards that I wanted to "get out
of my head."  I love the Windmill Fields dies on page 17 of
the January-June 2022 Mini.  There are so many nice "bits"
that can be assembled on a card, such that you could go with
single elements, like the bike.  The windmill also works
great on so many background designs and papers.

I grabbed my Plenty of Patterns Layering Decorative Masks
(page 128 in the annual catalog), because I felt that the flower
mask would coordinate perfectly with that windmill.  I used 
Blending Brushes (page 121) to add Mint Macaroon to the 
mask and edges of this card.  The Windmill was created with
several designs from the In Good Taste DSP.  
Next, I added the sentiment from the Home
and Gardens set (Mini, page 72), cutting it out with the
Rectangle Stitched dies.  I placed 2 retired Candy Dots on
the windmill to highlight the windows.

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite cards.
I love the look and feel of it.

Wow, Jackie! This is one of my favorite cards, too. I love the windmill from the DSP and your Mint Macaron touches are lovely. (You're right - that mask is perfect for the windmill!)
