Nature Trees

Hey everyone- Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by Fun Stampers Journey President and Founder Richard Garay!  Last week he posted this card on his page.

Which made me want to pull out the Nature Trees SS and play with it.  I loved the color scheme so I used almost the same colors:  Lemongrass CS, Dark Roast CS, Cool Pool CS, and Whip Cream CS, then I threw in a sliver of the Going Places PP to add just a little pop!

 I stamped the ink splat that is included with the stamp set (how cool is that??!) with Cool Pool ink, and then stamped one of the trees with Dark Roast ink.  I took a step back and said, hmmmmm, this needs something.  So I went digging in my embellishments and pulled out my jar of Lemongrass confetti.

I like how the confetti changes color with the light and gives it an early fall look.  I finished the card off with a floppy bow tied with Lemongrass Thread. 

Hope you enjoyed todays post, and

Have a Creative Day!

Happy Wednesday Creative Friends!

Today I am sharing a card I made for masculine challenge.  I pulled out my Fun Stampers Journey Adventure Section Stamps to see which stamp sets I had available.  There are so many cool masculine sets available in the new catalog, it was hard to choose just one!

I decided on the Scenic View Stamp set, https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogueID=212&ProductID=19489&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=344
I ended up cutting a few of the stamps apart because I wanted to just use a section of the image.  Notice the mountain range?  That was one of the stamps I cut.... it had a sentiment attached and I just wanted the mountains!

I shadowed stamped the mountains in 3 different colors- Sweet Pear, Lemon Grass, and Kiwi Slice.  I love the 3-D look it gives to the card.  I also used a sentiment from the Text Happy stamp set,  https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogueID=212&ProductID=19360&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=344  .  I am in love with this sentiment set.  It has so many cool sayings- something for everything!

 

The last touch was the Hiker- I cut this stamp apart also, it has a cool set of boot prints I can think of a ton of other uses for.  I carried on the 3-D effect by stamping the mountains behind him also. 

 

I hope this masculine card inspires you to pull out your stamps and play!
