I had a great time creating with the Market Fresh Stamp Set the other day & I am sharing another one with you today.
The base card is embossed with the Brick Textured Embossing Folder. The image is stamped with Versa Mark Ink & heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder. The image is watercolored with Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive Ink.
The banner is watercolored with Soft Suede Ink. In addition, Gorgeous Grunge was used to stamp some speckles with stamped off Crumb Cake Ink. The watercolored image is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals over a banner cut from Farmers Market Designer Series Paper.
The edges of the Watercolor Paper Circle are inked with Soft Suede Ink. A Linen Thread Bow is tied around the stem of the grapes. And, some dimension is added with a Gorgeous Grunge Stamp that is completed with stamped off Crumb Cake Ink.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

May 6, 2016 | Birthday, Celebrate, Hello |
Oh my gosh am I ever excited to be able to write this post. My internet was down for 36 hours and I was not sure when it would be up. Thankfully it started working this afternoon.
On to my card for today. It was stamped with the Market Fresh Stamp Set.
Making small cards like this one is both fun & easy. The card base is 3" x 6" – scored at 3". My image was stamped with Versa Mark Ink & Heat Embossed with Black Embossing Powder on Watercolor Paper. The strawberry was watercolored with Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive ink.
The image was fussy cut and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Then it was placed on a piece of Farmer's Market Designer Series Paper that was punched with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch. A few strands of Linen Thread are tied through the top of the tag.
It would be so easy to recreate this card for any occasion. It would be nice to have a stack of these for birthdays.

My sister Margie has a birthday at the end of the week and I wanted to make her a very special card because she is a very special sister!
The Melon Mambo Card Base did not photograph try to color. It looks mor fuchsia in the picture but it really is Melon Mambo. The balloons from Celebrate Today are stamped in Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight & Tangerine Tango Inks & cut out with the Balloon Framelits.
The balloons are stamped with images from the stamp sets Celebrate Today & Confetti Celebration which is a new stamp set that will be available June 1st. A sprinkling of Gold Foil Stars punched with the Confetti Stars Border Punch are glued around the front of my card.
The magic happens when you open the card. The Whisper White card stock insert slides up revealing the message Let's Celebrate also found in the Confetti Celebration Stamp Set. The picture was taken with the insert not fully engaged. But when slid up all the way the sentiment is completely visible. A few balloons from the Balloon Celebration are stamped & punched out with the Balloon Bouquet Punch.
A special shout out to Lee Ann Greff for giving me just the idea that I needed! Here is a link to her post with directions & a video showing how to make this card. Click Here to see her post.
