If you have arrived from Joyce Houck’s blog you are right on track. 

I wanted to share a card I created using the BEAUTIFUL paper pack Skylark.  

I used very little of the actual Skylark designer paper, but rather pulled in coordinating cardstock colors to complete this card!  J The colors I used on this card are “my” colors.  Greens, tans & neutrals can be used in SO MANY ways!!! 

I pulled out my HANDY- DANDY how-to book…Make it From Your Heart vol 2, and decided to use pattern #20 for my card design. 

I stamped the background of my card using the beautiful fern stamp that comes in this stamp set. 

Next,  I stamped the mountain image directly on top of the B&T (background & texture) paper!

Take a look at the two stamp sets I used to create this card. 

D1601 New Zealand Greetings

C1575 True to Life

Did you notice how I changed the wording on the tag?

Take a closer look at the tag in the stamp set above…

To change the wording on this ticket - Post-it Notes came in VERY handy! 

I covered up the original ticket words “True To Life” with a post it note….inked up the stamp…took OFF the post it note, then stamped the ticket (without the wording) on my kraft ticket shape. 

NEXT, I inked up the “Well Wishes” wording from the New Zealand Greetings stamp set, and stamped the words on the ticket!

Ta-da!! NEW wording on my ticket shape!!
