This card was made for tonight's VSND challenge: Falling In Love...
We were to use stamps that we love to create a card for someone we love...
This was made for my Dad. When my sister and I were kids, back in the Stone Age, my parents rented a creek lot where we parked our camper. It was along a creek in the back woods of Maryland, and in the Fall, I swear, it looked like this!LOL!
When I found this A Muse Stamp at Stamp Fanci in Pittsburgh, I had to buy it! If It had been $100, I would have bought it!LOL! It looks just like the little travel trailer my folks had back then! I know that DAD will love this...He's sentimental these days...He has Early Alzheimer's and sometimes just talks about those times...
The trees were stamped in BBlack onto WWhite. I used daubers for the grass, sky and trees. The camper was stamped on Brushed Silver in VersaMark and embossed in black. The Sentiment is stamped and the punched twice... The ribbon was heated with my Heat Tool to shrink it!
