Happy Wednesday, peeps! I am squeaking in a card for the TGIF498 sketch challenge:
At our club meeting on Monday, we used the Fragrant Forest background stamp. I think background stamps can be a bit intimidating, but with a little practice, a stamp positioner and maybe a sticky mat, you can create some pretty awesome backgrounds! Here's the card we made:
We used Lost Lagoon ink and the Peaceful Season stamp set. I had another blank panel stamped, but not adhered to a card, so I decided to cut out part of it with a circle die and use it for the TGIF sketch:
I used some retired Soft Glimmer papers in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for the horizontal pieces and the scalloped mat, then added another sentiment from Peaceful Season. I also added an embossed panel (Snowflake Sky).
Here's the inside:
These trees are so pretty! Thanks for popping in today!
My brother sent me this photo from my dad's field:
Pretty awesome! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Oh, LeAnne, I love this paper and can almost smell the aroma of that forest!! Two gorgeous cards!
ReplyDeleteWe see American Eagles quite often - makes me so happy to say that!

Both cards are beautiful, LeAnne! I love the Lost Lagoon rather than a darker green. I think Lagoon gives the card a snowy, surreal look!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty with the color you chose. The eagles near my house in Florida just layed two eggs. I love watching them on You Tube. I wish the owls would leave them alone though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and a beautiful bird!!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty shades of green! How exciting to see an eagle at rest and that close!
