Peachy!

Good morning! Sorry for the late post this morning, I am trying to get back into things after being away this weekend and the busy day yesterday!  Lots of catching up to do! :)

It's Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday and today I have a peach of a card - LOL!  I pulled out the Multi-Step Peach which is one of the great mini sets (only $8.50 and if you use my coupon code JULIE10KSS you get 10% off!!).  Not only is this set so pretty, it even includes 3 sentiments and an ink recipe to stamp your peaches with!  Very cool! 

I took a little inspiration for this from a card we made this weekend designed by Monika Davis.  Her card used the same circle & Blossom Nestabilities combo with the sponging around the edge and I thought it worked very well for this pretty image!  I just love these colors together - almost vintage-y with the great Cosmo paper.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment, "for a peachy day" on the inside of the card.

Here's the recipe for the peach (it's on the inside of the stamp package too!)

Step 3 - Rhubarb Stalk (stamped off), Step 2 - Tangelo (stamped off), Step 1 - Dandelion (stamped off) & Tangelo (stamped off), Step 4 - Rhurbarb Stalk (stamped off, repeat), Stem - Dark Chocolate, Leaves - Step 3 - Olympia Green, Step 2 - Cottage Ivy, Step 1 - Dandelion

Take a few minutes and visit the rest of the KSS Crew today.  I know you'll be inspired!!  Thanks for visiting today!
