Monkey in the Leaves

This card was made using the new Fox and Friends set. the background was brayered in Certainly Celery and the leaves were then stamped in Old Olive. The leaves come from the level three hostess set Garden Dreams. The spotty background paper comes from the Sweet Pea dsp, really hope we get some gorgeous new dsp to replace this as I'm going to miss it when its gone. The sentiment is stamped in Pumpkin Pie and comes from the Wow Flowers set.

Sweet Pea Bag and Card

This card and bag were made using some paper from the new Sweet Pea stack, I really do love the colours in these papers. Instructions to make the bag can be found here. The embellishment on the front on the bag is made from repeated stamping an image from Circle Circus in Chocolate Chip, Rose Red and Old Olive. Different parts of the image were then punched out using the scallop circle, the 1 3/8" circle and the 1 1/4" circle punches. The card was made using the same image for the base and the Happy Birthday Circle greeting from Wow Flowers, this was finished off with an Old Olive brad.

Greenhouse Garden for Mojo Monday Challenge

This is the card I have made for this week's Mojo Monday challenge, you can find details here. I chose to use Greenhouse Garden as its a set I've just bought. The flowers are stamped in Pretty in Pink with Pixie Pink over the top. The stems are Certainly Celery with Old Olive over the top. The background paper comes from the Tea Party collection, I know this is appearing a lot recently but I just love it. The greeting comes from the Wow Flowers collection and has been stamped on punched out tab using the round tab punch. The ribbon is embellished with two Certainly Celery brads.

Grandma's Birthday Card

This card is one I made for my Grandma. I wasn't sure about this stamp "From the Garden", its a hostess level 1 stamp, but it stamps a beautiful image. I stamped in versamark onto vellum cardstock and then embossed with pearly white, gold and clear embossing mixed , a mixture helpfully made by my son. The embossing shows up a lot better when the card catches the light, for blogging purposes gold would have been better! The image was then coloured on the reverse using perfect plum and mellow moss markers. the card was finished off with a greeting from the Wow Flowers set.

Supplies:
Stamps: From the Garden and Wow Flowers
Cardstock/Paper: Whisper White, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Mellow Moss and Vellum Cardstock
Ink: Versamark, Perfect Plum and Mellow Moss Markers
Accessories: Oval and Scallop Oval punches, gold brads, clear, gold and pearly white embossing powders.

Everything is from Stampin' Up! except the pearly white embossing powder.
