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!
Gorgeous card, LeAnne! Love the monochromatic color, embossed panel and that scalloped sentiment panel! It all just sings to me! So pretty and makes a perfect Get Well card! Your garden of flowers is beautiful! Your camera captures some very pretty shots! TFS and have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the card LeAnne! Monochromatic is one of my favorite techniques too. Gorgeous flower/butterfly/turkey pix too! Love the glimpses of your yard! ~chris
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
