It’s another Thoughtful Branches card from my Thoughtful Branches class. I’m pretty sure that this was the very first time I’ve done a class centered around a single stamp set. #6monthstampingoals
It’s a bit difficult to plan a class like this, especially when you do a class the way I do. I usually design 5 cards for a class and put everything needed for each card in it’s own container. Then people just grab a container, work on that card and then grab a new one. It works pretty well for my customers. So, when you’re working with only one stamp set and multiple containers that means you can’t use the same stamp on two different cards!
I was able to make it all work for this class but we only made four cards instead of five. Those people that attended enjoyed the class but I had a very small turnout. Oh, well. It happens. I’ll just have to show these fabulous cards at next week’s class.
This card is actually my own creation although I probably borrowed bits and pieces of it from other sources. I know I had seen the background somewhere else. I really like this background. First you stamp the Crumb Cake card stock with the Hardwood stamp and then you run it through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder! Double woodgrain! It really looks nice.
The trees are stamped on watercolor paper to add a little more texture to the card because the double woodgrain background just wasn’t quite enough. Ha!
This card reminds me of the north woods of MN where I’ll be headed in a few weeks. I love it up there. So serene and peaceful. I hope you have a serene and peaceful day. Take care and Happy Stamping!
