A little  Neon for you! I made a card that I am entering into 3 challenges.  They are Case Study and The Play Date Café and Crazy for CAS.

Hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday.

It's Monochromatic week at Dynamic Duos and we have 2 shades of green for you. They are "Garden Green" and "Pear Pizzazz".

 

I inked my image with the lighter shade and then dabbed on the darker green before stamping. I just had to add a couple of sequins too. :(

Santini Market

This past March my husband and I spent the month in Fort Myers Beach Florida and right across the street from our condo their was a market. Every morning I walked over and got fresh fruits and veggies. The grapefruits were so sweet and juicy!!

To make my layout I used the Park Drive collection by Webster's Pages which I got from Scrapbook Memories and More.

To see how to re-create this layout check out this blog post and just scroll down a bit.



Here are photos of both sides so you can see it a bit better.

1. Make an A2 card from Kraft cardstock.

2. Add a mat from "Margaret".

3. Add a smaller mat from the B side of "Margaret".

4. Coat the chipboard bird and cage with gesso and let dry.

5. Add cage to card and the add the bird after coloring with Copics.

6. Add a pink bow to the top of the cage.

7. Add 3 large flowers and 3 small flowers.

8. Tuck in some leaves cut out of the papers.
