For Free for All F4A25 ... to make a card for someone who is ill or recovering. Perfect timing - my husband asked for a Get Well card for his friend who is recovering from recent heart surgery (and doing quite well too!)
So I stamped the trees with pine cone ink and then embossed with a clear ep. Then moved the image over ever so slightly and stamped again with some pale green almost creating a shadow. Sponged some pale blue around the entire image and then matted with chocolate chip card stock.
Mounted on Kiwi Kiss card stock. Added some striped ribbon tied in a simple knot. Sentiment is stamped, sponged and then punched and matted in same chocolate chip. Popped up for a bit of dimension.
That's it - no more embellies as this is a guy card - why are they so hard to do???
Now the challenge -- make sure to mail or hand deliver the card! It is in an envelope and will be dropped off for delivery on Monday.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Laurie, the perfect masculine card. Geez, I dont remember reading the cards had to be mailed by Monday. Holy Smokes, I'm gonna be late. I noticed you move your image over just a touch, which really shows up so well with your embossing.
