Circle Flowers

As if you couldn't tell, this Bright Blossoms set and Summer Smooches paper is really enjoyable to play with.

I used this weeks sketch at Eat, Sleep, Sketch #168 for my card today.






It was missing something and I didn't realize it until I uploaded the pics. I should have layered the horizontal strips with wither Real Red or Island Indigo to make them pop a little more. Eh, learn from my mistakes and do better next time.

I used crystal effects on the flowers to make them shine and I popped up the clear embossed vase to make it stick out from the stem.

A La Card Monkey #100 Challenge

What better to celebrate the A La Card Monkey's 100th challenge than by showcasing some new paper and stamp set!

The paper is SU! DSP called Summer Smooches. It will be available for order April 1-April 30. This is a new suite that will be available in the 2012-2013 catalog. The colors are very bright and fun, makes me almost like summer...almost. I paired the paper with a new stamp set out of the same suite called Bright Blossoms. Very fun tiny sets that are very versatile.


I stamped the vase and then cut it out. Instead of using the flowers with the stamp, I used a flower out of the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and added a basic pearl for a little pop. Just to finish the edges I used the mat pack to pierce the corners.

Ingredients: All items SU!
