Hi, everyone! This week's Featured Stamper is LeAnn aka N2SCRAPPIN....congrats, LeAnn! I chose this amazing card from her gallery to case since I needed a birthday card today for my nephew. I used similar colors, three panels, embossed sentiment on black, and black baker's twine. I began by swiping Island Indigo and Old Olive ink pads onto a craft sheet, spritzed with water, then mopped up the ink with a white piece of cardstock (the wrinkle free distress technique). Once the panel was dry, the trees from 'Wide Open Spaces' were stamped in black and the panel was cut into thirds, matted in black, then popped up over an indigo card base. The sentiment from 'Sweet Little Sentiments' was heat embossed in pewter; two pewter brads were added to match the embossing powder. My card is a bit boring compared to LeAnn's work of art, but I think my nephew will like it. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Um, this is so NOT boring! I was immediately drawn to this as I browsed the gallery! Your WFD background is wonderful - I love the colors which are perfect for the pine forest. Wonderful masculine creation.

Oh girl, you did a magnificent job of casing my card, which by the way, happens to be one of my favorite! Your color selection is beautiful and I love how realistic your sky looks! I'm sure your nephew will love it and save it for a keepsake! Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your inspiration this week, I'm thrilled beyond words! Hugs!

You nailed your inspiration here - what beautiful inking of your sky - you get the impression of mountains even though there is no definition of them - the silhouette trees are striking in the black and what a great affirming sentiment!
