Say It in...Kraft, White and Green!

say_it_in_kraft_white_green

At AnnaBelle Stamps this week, the challenge is to say it in Kraft,White and Green. I chose to work with All Things Grow for this card:

I stamped the image twice in Certainly Celery ink and once in the centre in Old Olive ink and then stamped the sentiment from Ballerina Rose over the top. I finished off this panel by adding a punched Kraft butterfly and matting it on a Kraft panel. This was then mounted on foam dimensional tape and adhered to a white layer which had been scored at 1/2 inch intevals vertically. I tied some satin Kraft ribbon around the bottom, threading it through a white button. This layer was then adhered to a Kraft base which had been edged along the bottom with my Upper Crest border punch.


The inside has a sentiment stamped in Old Olive ink from the Acacia set and a tiny punched butterfly to finish it off. Please bear with me and my photos - I am experimenting each time as I am not happy with my shots taken at night as I don't have a light tent or great lamps and so I am slowly trying out my SLR camera outside (which I did on my last post) and am becoming very frustrated with the outcome. I have seen so many amazing blogs out there with fabulous photography, but it will take me a lot of practice unfortunately to have the same look! Anyway - here are the details for this week's challenge and be sure to have a look at the rest of the team's creations.
