Going Away Card

A lady at work left last week (she worked for our tree contractor), so of course I had to make her a card with trees on it!

The base of the card is Early Espresso CS and I did the triple layer technique using Crumb Cake CS.  We've had several card swaps using the technique and I've seen it on a lot of blogs, so cute and much easier than it appears!  The Stamp Set I used was one of my all-time favorites: Lovely as a Tree.  I drew the little bird in free hand.  The inside stamp is from the Word Play Stamp Set.  The ribbon is Chocolate Chip Scallop Dot.  I cut the words for the inside with a Window Frame Collection Framelit.

Luv2Stamp Group Meeting October 2012

We had so much fun at Patty's Meeting yesterday.  What an awesome group, what great ideas and swaps!  This is the card I did for the trade:

It's always so hard to vote for your 3 favorites because I love them all!  I used Black CS for the base, ran Whisper White CS through the Spider Web Embossing Folder after stamping with the little spider from Googly Ghouls (of course added the Googlies eyes) and the Trick or Treat from Toxic Treats Stamp Sets.

Happy Halloween everyone!
