Mountains

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Our swap theme last month for Craft Group was mountains.

It left me scratching my head!

Then I remembered this scene building set that's been sitting on the shelf for a 

few years.  It's not available from Stampin' Up anymore.  That's how long it's been

sitting there.  Although I think they retire their things way too quickly!

But I digress.

I ended up keeping this one for a Father's Day card.

I've inked, spritzed and stamped the mountains with Crumb Cake ink, then 

over-stamped with Pear Pizzaz.  For the mountain in the middle, I wiped ink off

the ends with my finger.

I used more stamps for the grass, stamping several times and 

adding lots of water to let the ink run.

To finish, I die cut a frame an popped it over the top after I embossed the main image.

I had die cut some of the designs for my swaps and had this frame left over.  

It was too pretty to throw away.  So I stamped some mountains and trees to go with it.  

I used lighter shades of ink or stamped off to get the feeling of distance and popped

the frame up with dimensional tape.

It was a perfect place to put this sentiment and ended up being my favorite.

Here's a peek at the cards I took to swap.
