GDP 067

This card challenge is from Global Design Project, its a theme challenge #067, all about trees.

If you would like to play along CLICK HERE.

When I think about trees I automaticly think Sympathy cards because they make them easy to create and can be a sympathy card for a guy, I used the leaves from Thoughtful Branches stamp set, I also paired it with some fall Stampin UP ink colors.

I got my inspiration from Pinterest, CLICK HERE to see, I did not care for the black and white but the layout stuck to me.

 Again I have been using this Hampton Art Stamp Perfect tool like crazy since yesterday, I purchased from Micheal's for $13.

I am using Early Espresso Ink on Confettie Cream card stock.

 The one on the left I stamped 4 x with the Stamp Perfect tool.

The one on the right is stamped 1 x with the Stamp Perfect tool.

I do need to reink my Early Espresso ink pad.

 Using a mouse pad and regular stamping block for this part.

Add my sentiment panel on the card mat.

I stamped in Delightful Dijon, Bravo Burgundy, and Cajun Craze ink the leaves from Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set.

 Adding foam to the back of the panel.

I did end up trimming some of the sentiment panel down.

I also matted it on a thin border of Delightful Dijon and my card base is in that color as well.

 Top folding card.

This Stamp Perfect tool makes it easy.

I stamped the leaf right on top with a regular block.
