Hi everyone! I had created this card earlier in the week for the Mojo Monday sketch:
and was thrilled when I saw the Stamp Ink Paper challenge was monochromatic! Check!
I love monochromatic! I used some pretty papers from Graphic 45's Botanical Tea line in a pretty Wisteria Wonder shade:
It's a bit hard to see, but the back panel was stamped with a floral image from Tim Holtz's Flower Garden set., then sponged and decorated with some SU enamel dots. The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen (ret SU), and I stamped the scallop behind it with a Leafy backgrounder stamp (ret Cornish Heritage Farms):
I added a piece of doily (SU) and some twine from my stash, then stamped a sentiment from Papertrey on the inside and lightly stamped the same floral image on top:
And speaking of florals, since I don't have any new pix of Cassidy, now that she's in school all day, I thought I would share some things that are in my flower garden:
A monarch on a spider zinnia:
A closeup of another zinnia:
Butterfly bush:
And yes, a mama and three teen-age turkeys, behind the garden:
We knew the turkeys were around, as my SIL and a neighbor had told us they had seen a mother turkey with babies, but this was the first time they had ventured all the way down to our yard. They were actually IN our yard but as soon as I went out with my camera, they scuttled away!
Enjoy your day!

Love the card LeAnne! Monochromatic is one of my favorite techniques too. Gorgeous flower/butterfly/turkey pix too! Love the glimpses of your yard! ~chris
This is a beautiful card, LeAnne! In fact, I've never seen purple look so pretty. Love the DSP and your own hand-stamped pattern coordinates so well with it. Love it!! I love your pictures today too, it's always fun to see what's going on in someone else's garden!
What a pretty mix of patterns on your layers LeAnne!! This is pretty, I like Wisteria Wonder. Pretty flowers pictures and just look at those turkeys! We have a group of about 15 that frequent the woods at the end of our street!
Such a lovely card, LeAnne! Thanks for joining us for Mojo Monday!
