My card today is for the LIM challenge , and it's a colour theme this week
MONOCHROME
| 1. in shades of one color: using or displaying only shades of one color or black and white. |
I've not tried this colour concept before so had a bit of a think about this one , then I remembered a card design on my list of things to make and it fitted in well with this weeks challenge
I've used my Cricut to cut the turtle from the 'Walk in my Garden' cartridge and a Die-namics die to cut the grass . The sentiment is from a Woodware set and as it is acrylic I was able to curve it so it could be stamped around the shell .
Everything on the card is green which isn't showing well and neither is the glossy accents on his shell ...... but it is nice and shiny IRL :)
I thought 'Take it easy..' was a fairly open sentiment so I've left the card blank inside for the moment .
Thank you all so much for your comments about my butterfly card and this week I had a lovely parcel of Stampin Up stamps arrive from Mandi and a card from the lady herself
As you can see I have already mounted them all and are ready to go with some ideas . Thanks so much Mandi and Chrissie :)
Well I'm off to catch up on housework and I'll check out the other Limettes cards later .
Thanks for joining me today X
PS ... hubbie has just been in to say he has sown rather more radish up the allotment than he intended , when the stiff breeze took the seed packet out of his hands and liberally scattered them everywhere ..... oh dear. Lol X
makes me smile, lovely card

I'm a big fan of green so I'm immediately drawn to your turtle card. I love the way you've shaped the sentiment round his shell. Lucky you to get that fabulous card - one of my favourites that Mandi has made! And enjoy those fab sets too! Vx
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny. I love your card do much. Great job on that frame!!!! The turtle is adorable and the grass just finishes it off perfectly. I don't know if you "do" awards, but I received my first this week, and I wanted to pass it on to you. So whether you post it or not, know that I love your work.

ReplyDeleteAww love your turtle, he's so cute :o) Fab card!
ReplyDeleteRe the memento inks - yes, I use the little dew drop ones and they're great... in fact even with the black ink I usually use a little one (more control for me - less likely to splodge it everywhere!) and it lasts ages even though I use it loads. Lisa x
Loving your turtle and fab layout!
