Hurray, my 1st upload in a month ! Denny and I have been off trailer camping in the mts of Nevada and Utah Red Rock Country :-) Now I am home to my beloved stamping, stamping friends, fall cleanup, etc.
My 1st upload is a special card for a very special stamping girlfriend. I was inspired by notimetostamps.......ssnotime56 challenge. The challenge was to make a "Sharon" style of card. I got the bird, DP, wide ribbon right, 5" X 6", but not exactly simple, but I just love the results. I used Beate's Stipple Basics technigue to highlight my new Season of Friendship tree. The birdie is cut out and covered with 3 layers of Crystal Effects. The tree is EB and then I used my markers to color the leaves. I TP'd (yes, toilet paper) sponged the edges of the main image. I am so pleased that SU now has Sage Shadow grosgrain ribbon.
Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed making this card and just plain Stamping again :-) TFL
P.S. My forever gardening and stamping buddy leslierich received this card on her special birthday. So glad you liked your card Les.....it "Glows" just like you :-)

Beautiful card, Nancy! I love the tree, pretty fall leaves and cute little bird! The stippling is very nice and I love the double ribbon and slide! She'll treasure it for sure!
