Thanks a Bunch

Thanks for stopping by from the ever talented Erica's blog!

Where is our time going! Amazing isn't it! We are sure enjoying this summer but there seems no way we'll all get our bucket lists accomplished:) Oh well, there's always next summer, right?

This card was fun to put together!!! I love the stamp set Kidoodles...it just makes my heart happy! To begin, I created the dry embossing "folder" used on the Old Olive card stock. I punched out the branch from the bird punch about a million times. I stacked four on top of each other and waited for them to dry. This created the "folder" and I ran it through the Big Shot and voila! How fun is that!?!?

Then of course you can see I punched out branches from Early Espresso. I then also punched out a bunch of branches from the green DSP (from last year's Simply Scrappin' Kit), cut out the leaves and glued them to the branches. The flowers are from the Itty Bitty punch pack from So Saffron card stock and I used the So Saffron brads in the middle....cute, eh?

The monkeys were stamped on water colour paper, coloured in and cut out. The heads and bananas are actually a second layer dimensionaled up (is that a word?). The colours on this card are So Saffron, Old Olive, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Early Espresso.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!!! Take care,

Heather
