Happy Saturday Peeps!!!
It is time for another new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.
This is the 5th Saturday of the month and the final challenge for this month is:
School is about out and vacations are either planned or being planned. What
would be your ideal vacation spot? Beach, mountains, backyard? Whatever your
destination is, let's create a card or project using it as your inspiration.
I decide to go with a time not a place for my vacation themed card.
I love fall so that was easy and this fall we are planning a trip back east to visit some friends, some friends I am privileged to know and whom I am thankful for.
So that is the inspiration for my vacation card.
I started by creating my fall tree, using the awesome Sheltering Tree stamp set.
I stamped the tree with Early Espresso ink onto some whisper white card stock. I then used
Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Real Red for the leaves.
The ground is stamped with Daffodil delight and then I "sprinkled" some leaves around the ground with the same above colors.
I stamped the rake and swing with Early Espresso ink as well.
The sentiment is a combo of a couple of stamps in this set. I just masked off and stamped the words I wanted, which is so easy with the photopolymer clear sets.
I rounded all the corners using the envelope punch board.
The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then a layer of white and some paper from the Neutrals DSP stack.
The small little yellow flags come from the Cherry on Top stack.
I tied some white twine around the bottom and added a small punched flower from the Itty Bitty pack and a pearl to the center.
Can't wait to see beautiful PA in the fall, Wendy this card is for you!!!
Be sure and head over to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog to be inspired by the rest of the team!!!
Happy Stampin!!

Great tree. Just curious...how did you make the leaves? Did you use an eraser tip?
