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!
