Childhood Memories

This card is for the Technique Lover's Challenge over at SCS to create a card based on a childhood memory. The memory I chose was living in the country, picking wildflowers (a few other flowers that I wasn't supposed to be picking) and chasing butterflies. I used a set that is new to me from Close to My Heart and Green at Heart dsp from Basic Gray.The card base is Wild Wasabi. The butterflies are from an embosslits die from SU!'s spring mini and the border punch is Martha Stewart. Thanks for stopping in!

More birthday monkeys

Here is another card using the monkey images by Stampendous. It is very unusual for me to leave a card without embellishments but I think this would make a great card for a little boy. Of course, little boys aren't interested in ribbons and glitter. It was really hard to leave it alone!
The image is stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and then colored with an assortment of Copic and Stampin' Up! markers. The designer paper is from Basic Gray and the cardstock is from Stampin" Up!: Brilliant Blue, Basic Black, and Whisper White.
