Zoo Babies with Crushed Curry

 

How cute is this giraffe? It's one of the Zoo Babies in a new stamp set you may purchase in the big catalog.

 

 

I can honestly say I'm not a fan of Crushed Curry. It's a hard color for me to use. So I grabbed my Color Coach and found that Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie complement Crushed Curry. I like those two colors! So here we go. I love the Scallop Border punched strip of Coastal Cabana with the 1/8" Pumpkin Pie taffeta and the little punched tag with "hi" from Fabulous Phrases.

 

 

I started planning my card with last week's sketch challenge from Try Stampin' On Tuesday. That's why I added a "tree" in Baked Brown Sugar ink from Take Care. It's the second design today I used for my 10-card class. What do you think?

New blog! More fun! Getting back to Nature...

I'm starting a new blog with a friend called A La Card Monkey, and we're starting with the theme challenge of Nature. We picked a big number to start with - 50 - and I'm giving out a BIG BUNDLE of STAMPIN' GOODIES!!! There's paper, ribbon, brads, stamps and more!

Here's my nature card:

I started with a pretty flower on lined yellowish paper from the Botanical Gazette dsp pack, crumpling it up and distressing the edges with the Cutter Kit. To it, I added a bee from the Nature Walk stamp set on dimensionals that was colored with More Mustard (body) and Bashful Blue (wings), as well as one of the Four Frames stamps. For added interest, I put in a jumbo eyelet and threaded the 1/8" Early Espresso ribbon through the eyelet and around the first two layers before knotting it. The decorative label is adhered with dimensionals too. The "celebrate" comes from Fabulous Phrases. I cut it out, roughed up the edges with the Cutter Kit and adhered it to the label with dimensionals. You can see a close-up below.

Now it's YOUR turn! Stamp a card that has something to do with Nature, and add it to the http://alacardmonkey.blogspot.com/ blog. You could win BIG!!! Isn't the badge I designed with My Digital Studio cute?
