 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


When I start to create - I ALWAYS go to one of CTMH’s FABULOUS how to books!!
In this case I pulled out the Make It From Your Heart, vol 1 and decided to use card pattern 26.

After deciding what kind of card design to create, I knew  I wanted to make a rustic card…so out came our current paper pack called, Timberline. 


Here is the card I created…

I choose to stamp the background with our wire background stamp - from Distressed Backgrounds- to pull the rustic feel through the entire card.

I tend to use the NEW embossing folders from CTMH in a lot of my creations…but I just LOVE the effect they can bring to any creations!

You can emboss almost ANYTHING to create a new pattern!  In this case I even embossed the rustic, barn board background paper with dots, and then pulled some Whisper ink over top of the dots to make them “pop”

By adding some hemp Baker’s twine & triangle durables as accents, it pulls the entire card together. J



Now head on over to Jen Patrick’s Blog  to see what she has created using this stamp set!

    Love your card. You did a ton of work on it. So many different techniques. This would be a great masculine card.

    I really love these papers and the embossing folders are my favourites too! I like how you've added the background stamping, it really pulls it all together nicely!
