Jaded Blossom's August Challenge!

Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

For the month of August, we would love to see your Monochromatic projects that use some of those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Here is a look at my take on the challenge:

I am loving those new Octagon Dies and couldn't wait to make another shaped card using them. I formed my card base by cutting two pieces of white card stock that I cut out using the largest of the Octagon Dies and adhering them together. I cut another piece from some green polka dot paper and covered the front. I added a white strip from the Border Dies and then got to work on my focal point. I stamped out three cactus from the You Are Succulent stamp set and colored them with various shades of green. I paper pieced the pots for a little whimsy. Once I had the cacti done, I stamped my greeting and used another Octagon Die to cut them out. I layered them with a piece of striped vellum, also cut from the Octagon dies, and popped my focal point up onto the card with some foam tape. I finished off my card with a little bow from the Bow Dies and an enamel heart.

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom blog to see what the rest of the DT made, they never disappoint! 

I hope you will play along, I would love to see what you make!
