Close To My Heart has done it again!!

This new mini Book is FILLED with BEAUTIFUL papers, embellishments & products!!

It's so hard to choose WHAT product is a favorite...I've had SO MUCH fun playing with so many of them! Today, let's take a look at the card I created...

I used the Aurora papers for this card, 😊 and LOVE these deep tones & colors of this collection!!!

How this card idea came about...I noticed a card in the NEW May/June catalog (pg. 6), that the CTMH art department created and wanted to try recreating something similar.

They cut a "window" in the front of their card and had the main image as part of the front & the inside of the card! I love that the Aurora Cardmaking stamp has a set of coordinating Thin Cuts too!!

I wanted to stamp the image only once, and finally figured out how to do that :)

I inked my camper stamp in Charcoal gray, then wiped that color ink off the trees of the stamp.

Next, I inked the trees (on either end of the stamp) in Evergreen ink....then stamped and TA-DA....a 2 tone stamped image!!

But wait--the camper and the sun should have some color, right??

I used a lovely yellow Tri-Blend Alcohol marker for the sun. For the camper, I stamped it in Eggplant ink, and just trimmed out the bottom part of the Eggplant camper (I LOVE my micro-tip scissors!) and glued that tiny piece on the bottom of the camper.

Let's take a look at this GREAT stamp set & the images that are included in this collection!

To finish off the card, I used the sentiment included in the set & stamped it on the banner with Sapphire ink, while backing it with Eggplant Cardstock.

Silver glitter gems & Silver embellishing thread gave the card the extra "sparkle" that it needed! :)

I hope you enjoyed this card and were INSPIRED today!! :)

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Haley's Blog to see her beautiful creation!
