Pocket Silhouettes meets Forest Friends....

Posted by Julie Allain


...anyone who is not a fan of Stampin' Up! will think I've lost the plot with that title lol

Daring Card Makers has set the dare of using blue and green together, I remember the rhyme... blue and green must never be seen unless there is a colour between (think thats it lol) I think blue and green go really well together.

The tree image is from 'Forest Friends' stamp set and the stamps used for the background are from 'Pocket Silhouettes' stamp set.... see its all becoming clearer now isn't it

The colours used on this card are: Certainly Celery, Not Quite Navy & Chocolate Chip

The ribbon is Stampin Up's 1" double stitched grosgrain

Thanks for looking :)

Textured cardstock colours are apricot appeal & sage shadow
Sentiment stamp is from the 'Simply Said' stamp set, Main stamp is from Organic Grace stamp set
The scallops were made using my scallop edge punch (even for the scallop circle ~ you just have to make a cut in between each of the scallops which allows you to manipulate the scallops ~ if you want to see a demo of this just ask and I'll do a video)
