They first day of the October Card Class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store was a good time as it always is! We had a lot of laughs at the night class with Andrew, Kayleigh, Melissa, Victoria and Jan! This month’s class is Lawn Fawn so it was a long one. I love when they can just sit there and color and take their time! We got out around 10:00 and I headed over to George’s house for Thirsty Thursday with Heather and Stephanie. Geroge is in Nashville so we had a little change of venue! I do love our little trio! This morning I have a haircut and then the second day of class! More fun times! It’s also my crafty friend Sandy’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Sandy!! 😀
I did manage to make two cards yesterday and one of them is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
Today’s card starts off with a base of Ivory 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the birch trees using the Concord & 9th Tree Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set in Vintage Sepia. Across the top are two strips of Gold Mirror Card. My heart is from the Concord & 9th Cozy Up Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed it in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder onto a piece of Dark Molasses and then rubbed some Unicorn White Pigment Ink over it. To cut it out I used the Coordinating Dies and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My greeting is cut from more Gold Mirror Card and three piece of Ivory 110lb using the Concord & 9th JOY Die. I adhered them to each other and to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. A little sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear and Gold Sequins completes the card! I’m really into the woodgrain again lately and Concord & 9th has some of the best stamps out there for my little addiction! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you so much for visiting with me today! Have a fantastic Friday! 🙂
