Peaceful

This is the first card I put together using the Peaceful Pier stamp set and decided to use inks and Blending Brushes to make my background. The Blending Brushes come in two sizes and are easy to use, I chose Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake as my ink colors with these brushes.

The pier image and the sentiment were stamped with Memento Black ink and the pier was colored in with Stampin' Blends.

This stamp set has some really good images for masculine cards as well.

Last Day for Free Shipping

Last day to get in on FREE SHIPPING on orders of $75 or more!

I find it so difficult to get back into a schedule of posting (and creating) projects after either spring planting and shipping or harvest. The longer I am too busy to craft, the harder it gets and this year is no exception. Harvest was extended due to lots of weather issues and now as I am slowly catching up, my dad is in the hospital, so I am spending quite a bit of time there too.

I will get back to consistency soon, I hope.

This card uses several different patterns from the Neutrals 6 x 6" designer series paper along with the Encircled with Love stamp set. The Pebbled Path piece of card stock is embossed with a retired embossing folder.

I love the boldness of the stamped image which is stamped with Night of Navy ink.

Supplies:
