I recently found a Making Memories magnetic alphabet set of stamps in a charity shop for the princely sum of £1.50. A bargain indeed for a sturdy little set in two lovely tins. The font is a little quirky and an idea formed in my head as I was stamping images of with a lovely set of
vegetable garden stamps that I treated myself to from Papertrey Ink. The card was for one of my veggie friends and I thought he would appreciate a humorous approach! This is the card I came up with. The background is stamped with the very useful Stampin Up Hardwood stamp.
I had a couple of spare pea images, so made a variation on this theme, trying to make the peas and words look like they are on a seed packet. The packet itself was die cut with a Papertrey Ink die.
I am looking forward to planning more cards with the other veggies in the series.
Whatever you have been up to, I hope you have enjoyed the Bank Holiday. Most of our day has been occupied with planting in our veggie patch.

Gorgeous cards, Elaine! Love the vegetable stamps and your designs are simply wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, I love your two HapPea cards :) They made me smile. The wood grain is a fantastic stamp in the background on the top one and the seed package on the bottom is very creative. Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy your gardens, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you did it but I like the way you made the woodgrain panels look different in the two projects. My favourite of the two is the first one with the way your rounded corners of the woodgrain panel echo the peas in the pods whilst the arrow indentations of the sentiment panel echo the pointy shapes of the whole pea pods as well as their foliage.
