In the Garden

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #202 Use the Color Green

This Weeks Sponsor

Be Wild and Free stamp set

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

For my project this week, I was fortunate enough to use Mark's Finest Stamps, Garden Bunny set. 

The challenge this week is to use green, and I immediately thought of a garden. Maybe that is because I have so many garden craft supplies.

I started with the Garden Bunny stamp set from Mark's Finest Stamps and this fabulous inspirational sentiment. I stamped the sentiment in the middle of this shaped card from the Cricut Life's a Party cartridge. That led me to create a small garden underneath the sentiment. I used the Garden Soup Cricut cartridge to cut out the individual vegetables, and I added this fun bee brad to the top.

Be Wild and Free Stamp Set

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

For my project this week, I was fortunate enough to use Mark's Finest Stamps, Garden Bunny set. 

I was immediately drawn to the carrots.

In my Recollections, Garden Harvest, specialty paper pack, I found this wonderful glittered carrot kraft paper. To separate all the layers of the craft paper, I used a bright green cardstock. Then, to further separate the craft paper, I added a strip of orange/red. The top layer is from the same paper pack. It is just striped paper, so I cut this specific stripe. 

I chose this Cricut Elegant Edges cut because the edges looked very similar to the details in the patterned paper. I stamped three sets of the carrot stamps, and colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers.

Carrots: OR1, OR2, OR3

Carrot Tops:  LG1, LG3, LG5

I added a smear of glitter to the carrots from Martha Stewart's glitter pens: Fire Opal and Golden Beryl. And two green brads on the edgers. 

On the inside of the card, I used one of the sentiments from the stamp pack, and a few glitter brads.
