It's a jungle out there!

Happy Sunday!

I love plants! Not the bugs and the critters and the snake that comes along, when you're in a jungle, yikes! But just the plants! So you can wake me up to go to a garden center anytime! 

My favorite plants are orchids. While most people seem to find it hard to keep orchids alive, they seem to like it at my place, cause I don't often need to throw away an orchid. And they bloom also more than once! Yeay!

So while I was inspired by my plants, I wanted to create some jungle cards. 

I've used the MFT stamps pockets to create a large shaker card. Both the boy and the girl card.

Here's a close-up at both cards:

And the inside for both cards (it's a Dutch sentiment, meaning Congratulations):

To make this card, I've used:

*High Hopes Rubber Stamps: Walkabout Wally, Sheila, Stanley Snake, Jungle Leaf Corner, 

*Bazzill Basics Cardstock: white and kraft

*MFT stamps: A2 rectangle die + matching pouches

*Pretty Pink Posh: green and pink confetti

*other: green and pink beads, Pergaglue, Dutch sentiment 'gefeliciteerd', Copic paper, Copic sketch markers, black ink, acrylic block

Have a great Sunday!

It's A Jungle!

March is here and as I am typing this post we are experiencing unseasonable double digit temperatures - the snow is almost gone and it feels like Spring! 

These warm temperatures made me feel like colouring an image that feels like nice warm weather! 

Meet "Walk About Wally" who is out on a hike in the jungle. I wonder if he knows he has a monkey friend watching him!?

This card was a marathon to be honest! It was a good idea in my brain but it was hours of colouring and fussy cutting - I can say however, I am very happy with the end result! 

I started by stamping, colouring (with alcohol markers) and fussy cutting all of my images. The jungle background was stamped and coloured 4 times to have enough pieces to put my scene together. I cut my patterned cloud paper and mounted them on cardstock and stamped my sentiment. All the pieces were put together on my sidestep card base and voila!
