Yep, I have a plant/greenery theme again today starting with this Indoor Garden stamp set from Altenew which I just love...
The hand-drawn style and areas of solid colour are what sucked me in, I thought I'd add some blocks of colour as a background for a modern 'arty' look!!
I stamped each image, trimmed part way around the shape and made the rest into a rectangle with a knife and ruler..... I then added colour with an alcohol marker. It would have been easier to make the background blocks with coloured card and then add the stamped and trimmed images on top but that's what happens when a card design evolves!! :)
Now it's fair to say that Flora & Fauna are definitely becoming a favourite brand of mine too and I made this card using the Thanks a Munch set which has the cutest caterpillar amongst the images..
I made a circular frame with the leaves and then masked a circular area on the card to add the background leaves and the caterpillar..... he looks like he's enjoying his leafy snack!!
This gives me a good excuse to show you this beautiful Privet Hawk Moth caterpillar we found last weekend whilst gardening, I used to take these in to school in a jam jar for the nature table when I was a child but haven't seen one in ages so it was nice to find him :)
Thanks a Munch for stopping by :)

Both cards (and the caterpillar) are wonderful Jenny! I particularly like how you created the wreath of leaves, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOve your caterpillar bearing thanks card, and one who looks like those that we had munching on our Tomato plants, Jenny! Both amazing, as is your wonderful color blocked card!

Those background colour blocks are so cool behind those fresh plants, Jenny ... and I love that little caterpillar ... he's adorable (on your card) and so striking (on your hand!). Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThese both rock! I love the background blocks on the first card and go you for the way you trimmed them all out! So cool! And your caterpillar is the cutest little dude ever although he looks annoyed that the ladybug is eying up his turf! Ha ha! Your real caterpillar is amazing - such a gorgeous bright green!
