Weekly Wednesday

For the Love of Nature!

Hi Everyone,

Happy Hump Day! Today I'm sharing some projects from weekly class. This week it's all about nature and scenes. This first project using the Coastal Weave 3-D Embossing folder for that wonderful textured background. 

The stamp set called My Meadow is found in the January - June Mini Catalog by Stampin' Up! There are a few of these nature building stamp sets now and this one is so fun! Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, and Pear Pizzazz are the colors for this wonderful card.

I just love the little grass or flower stems and flowers. These can be used as blossoms on the trees as well. The sentiments are from the Beautifully Braided Stamp set. 

There is so much inspiration with the Mountain Air stamp set and coordinating dies! I was so inspired by all the wonderful cards I saw on Pinterest for this bundle. This card was inspired by Wendy Cranford. I really liked the colors and focus on the dies for this project.

Remember that the inside of your card is special too, so be sure to add some details inside. 

What I find so amazing about the Mountain Air stamp set is that the images are so beautiful! It is so easy to stamp the mountains and line of trees. I stamped the line of trees twice and simply shifted the stamp for the second time stamping them.

I really liked pulling in the fox from the Nature's Beauty Stamp set. I stamped it in Early Espresso and then blended the color with an Aqua Painter.

I love that mountain range! It stamps so well and is perfect for the inside of the card too. 

I hope you have enjoyed the projects I created for class this week. I had a lot of fun creating for this. I also had a card sketch challenge recently with the theme of growing. 

My friend Linda won the sketch challenge. She will be receiving a package of the Country Club Baker's Twine Combo for her entry. Congratulations!
