Hello and how are you today? I hope all is well and life is going smoothly for you all! It's been such a beautiful day here...but very busy. I had a DOTK meeting to plan our next month event, I had to meet with my pastor so he could sign June's birthday and anniversary cards, I had to meet with the church secretary (and friend) about updating our church directory and I had to mow my mother-in-laws grass...but before I could do anything I HAD TO WATER MY FLOWERS! Now...I have time to blog! I need to get on a better schedule...somehow!
Today's card is a card that we made in my Shascade Disabled Adult class yesterday. First, we had BIRTHDAY cake and then it was time to create! I know I've told you a few times now that I thought I was giving something back to my community by providing this class to these folks but I have received so much more from them! They LOVE to create! They were SUPER excited because I had a box full of things for them to create with at the program (that's what they call their building). I can't wait to see what they make!
This card is created with the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I was able to pre-order it as a demonstrator...it's in the NEW CATALOG and it's a BEAUTIFUL set! My card base is Basic Black with a Crumb Cake Layer that is embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. Next I inked up a 2 1/2" X 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock with my Sponge Brayers, Pool Party ink and Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped the tree image in Basic Black ink. It is layered onto a 2 5/8" X 4 1/8" piece of Whisper White cardstock and then onto a 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock. The sentiment (from the same stamp set) is stamped in Memento Black ink onto a piece of Wood Textures designer paper that I also tied a piece of Black Bakers Twine around.
I have to tell you this group LOVES to color and they LOVE learning all the different ways they can color! They've used the Brayers now, Stampin' Blends, Watercolor Pencils, Stampin' Write Markers, AquaPainters and Brushos...they REALLY LOVE the Brusho's...I need to get them a set! Next month I think I'll introduce them to the possibilities of Blender Pens!
Anyway...that's it for today! THANKS so much for stopping by to see what's up at Scrap Happens Here with Darla! Have a FANTASTIC day!
