For the Inspiration Challenge, Kia sent us to the very interesting Pinterest page of Maryann Rizzo. I quickly found the colors and the trees of this image inspiring:
Laura (SrappyHappy) our Featured Stamper has a gallery filled to the brim with great cards! Thanks for the wonderful FS challenge Ardyth! Laura, this is your card that inspired me:
I changed the fold to a latch fold and used different images. I used different, but similar, colors. I stamped the Sheltering Tree image in Mossy Meadow and repeated stamping without re-inking. Using my blending brush, I added Lost Lagoon and Baja Breeze ink to those stamped panels, finishing up with the Itty Bitty Background stamp. The stamped panels were embossed with the texture folder. I die cut and adhered the tree limb and bird to the long panel. The sentiment was stamped and die cut and a Pretty Peacock stitched oval mat added.
Many thanks to Kia and Ardyth for the great challenges. Laura, congratulations on being chosen our Featured Stamper!
