MMM - Wild Flowers and Grasses

By
It's Make My Monday time again and our Floral Theme is continuing with Wild Flowers & Grasses. Here is my card


I was aiming for a meadow scene with grasses and poppies by sponging Tempting Turquoise for the sky and Old Olive for the grass. My Grasses are from the Autumn Days set and the Poppies - large and small are from Greenhouse Garden. My sentiment is from Bird on a Branch and the punched leaves are made using the 2 Step Bird Punch.
The scene is on a slant because of the type of fold used to make it - it is a Diagonal Tri-Fold Card - here are some more pics



I found this technique on one of Mynnette's blogs - Krafty Kansans and she found it - HERE.

Hope everyone had a great weekend - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Very pretty card and I like the way you've made the landscape fit the unusual style of card. Great use of several stamp sets too.

    Wow Jacqueline - this is fabulous. Love the way you have created your scene, and the innovative use of the punch for leaves.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
