All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.
Thank you for stopping by.

# 424-2015-04
Supplies used :
Cardstock : White, Really Rust
Ink : Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Summer Sun, Rose Red
Sentiment : Grateful Reconnaissant rubber stamp set
Other : Forest Background embossing folder, Pine tree wood stamp

I used Really Rust as the main cardstock. For the image, I embossed it using my Forest Background embossing folder. 
After running the embossing folder through my Bigkick, I used artist paint brushes and sponges to add the Close to Cocoa to the tree trunk and branches. Then I used Old Olive on the leaves.

The pine trees are a wood stamp. I used Always Artichoke to stamp them on the image.

For the background colors behind the trees, I first sponged on Summer Sun, then Really Rust, and finally Rose Red. I was trying to get sort of a sunset look.

The sentiment was stamped on using Always Artichoke.

You can also find this card posted in this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. It is located at http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com.

Even though Easter is already over and it's another new day, I still thought I would make another Easter card. I found this pretty Easter Lily while looking for Easter clip art on google images. I saw this lily and thought it would look good on a card. This weeks card challenge was the perfect layout design I needed for it.

I hope you all had a Blessed Easter this year! Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog. I hope you will visit again....
