Wooded Acres – Embrace The Journey

Welcome back!  Friday already…where did the week go?

A one off this morning for Color Hues (#111).  Two striking colors when combined.

I selected the sketch presented by CAS Colours & Sketches (#562) but did not create a clean and simple card for them.  I just liked the layout.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Mossy Meadow cardstock.
• Accent Mat: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock
• Background Panel: (5” x 3¾”) Calypso Coral cardstock.
• Nine Square: (5½” x 1½”) Basic White cardstock strips.
  • The Pine Tree image from the Wooded Acres stamp set, still available but on the Last Chance List, was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
  • Color was added to each Strip with Sponge Daubers.  Colors chosen: Ground – Old Olive and Sky – Calypso Coral.
  • The Strips were trimmed to (4” x 1⅛”) and cut into three pieces.
  • The Tiles were adhered in place onto the Calypso Coral Background and Basic White Baker’s Twine was added, secured with Scotch Tape.
• Sentiment Label: Basic White cardstock scrap colored with Old Olive ink.
  • The sentiment, Embrace the journey, from the Everyday Arches stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and trimmed to (2⅜” x ⅞”).

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.

A rather nice masculine retirement card or graduation card.
