One of my "must have" new sets from the catalog (you can order your catalog here) is Paradise. I love these leaves and I think they will be good for all kinds of occasions!
My card for today is the technique Stamp Camp card (club members get to make two or I make one for them if they can't attend--I still have openings). It also uses this week's Mojo Monday sketch. And if that's not enough, my card qualifies for the Creative Belli challenge.
The technique we used is called "Double Bugging" from the most recent Technique Junkies Newsletter. I'll have to call it Double Big Shotting though since we used the Big Shot, lol!
Originally I started using just Certainly Celery and Old Olive ink and card stock. But, the card needed a little "something" so I added So Saffron. My main focus has the Old Olive leaf masked and then Certainly Celery leaves. I sponged with So Saffron and Old Olive. The panel beneath that is "double bugged" with the Small Dots and Diamond Texture Plates and Big Shot. The Designer Series Paper panel is from Flock Together. The finishing touches are Certainly Celery Grosgrain and "just a little thanks" from Matchbox Messages. I used the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches.
If you weren't able to make Stamp Camp this month, be sure to put Friday, August 14 at 7pm for Plainfield, IL and Sunday, August 16 at 12pm for Hoffman Estates, IL. I still a lot of new stuff to use and show you!
Thanks for the visit!
