Mother's Day Adirondack Chair Scene

Got creative, thinking outside the box, with an svgcuts SVG file, Adirondack Chair. It is meant to be a box card but I wanted to make it be an actual chair so I gave it a seat.























Photographed by some Sunflowers I rescued from Calloway's Nursery (they were being put into the compost bin since they were damaged; thus free for me).

die: Memory Box - Small Canning Jar - used to be a mason jar for drink
Glossy accents: used on mason jar drink (lemonade)
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
machine:  Cricut Explore Air, Sizzix BIGkick
paper: cardstock - green, pinks, tan/white core'd, yellow, yellow w/ texture dots, 
   Darice DkGreen Vines
punch: Fiskars scallop/circle
recycle: plastic straw
stamp: Scrappy Moms Dancing in Circles 2 - sentiment

   Gave the chair a seat instead of it being a box card

  12. I like how you made the seat into an actual chair. LOVE it!

    I'm so glad you saved the flowers. The saddest thing is when plants are tossed to the side to die. I've been known to take home many lost causes myself.

    Thank you for submitting your design at the Victorine Originals Mothers Challenge!
