Monday Montage - Mixed Florals & Labels

Here we are again with the Monday Montage Hop! I FINALLY cleaned out my “holiday explosion” in the craft room and have some space to create!

I used a card posted by my fellow-Monday-Montage-r and friend, Elizabeth Price. I changed the layout a bit and used a different stamp set, but the idea is basically hers … isn’t it pretty??

The Country Woods DSP has been my most favorite DSP in the last couple of years … I’ve dressed it up, down and sideways!!

The image and sentiment, from Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels, were stamped with Early Espresso and colored using my Stampin’ Blends - Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie.

I used an old paper crimper (I know many of you have these still!) to add even more texture to the background (just like Elizabeth’s card!). 

I added a layer of vellum (YAY for its return!) using the Everyday Arches Dies, plus accented the whole thing with a little Crumb Cake lattice shape and some gold brushed butterflies.

Stamps: Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels

Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Country Woods DSP

Ink: Early Espresso; Stampin’ Blends - Berry Burst, Pool Party, Pecan Pie, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake

I need to share my Christmas card (so happy I had them mailed the week BEFORE Christmas instead of the week AFTER). And … true confessions … I used stamps and dies that are NOT from Stampin’ Up (as JanTink would call it, “rubbahdultery”!).
