Mark's Finest Papers July release. . . Planted with Love




I'm sure you've seen photos on other blogs showing the colors they used on their images and while I am still an amateur when it comes to the copics, I thoughts I'd do the traditional 'cup o'markers' image so you can see which shades I used, except for the random ciaos in the mix. I really like the watermelon image, it makes for a cheerful card.

For this card I tried to make a bit of a scene, the sunflower image to me could double as a sun standing along. There is a stand-alone sunflower image in the set, that one was a bit large for my plans, so I stamped and cut out one of the sunflowers from the seedpacket for mine. Tickets are big right now, I don't have a ticket punch or die, I wanted my sentiment on that sort of shape. I took an old SU punch I own and cut off the half circles on either side of the rectangle . . . if any of you own this particular punch you'll know which one I'm talking about. Worked like a charm! Those crows crack me up, I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the design team does with them too.

There is something else worth mentioning besides the stamps. Mark's Finest Papers is offering a new Neutrals Pack that has some great layering weight colors that retail for $7.99 and include:

80lb Deepest Mahogany

100lb Deep Gloss White

Looking at your three cards I have to say that the first is my fav just because of the gingham and dots and the colors..It is perfect..I like the second one too because the doily gives it such a soft feel and the third card is just pure fun!
