Simple and fabulous! I love the look of this card. It is just so peaceful and perfect for lots of different occasions. I started with a Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4″ x 11″). Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. All the stamps used were from the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog! Love it! You can see more samples here and here! I used Chocolate Chip for the greeting, swing, and the tree. For the grass and the leaves, I used Mossy Meadow. I stamped the grass once in full strength and the side two were stamped after stamping off once. For the leaves, I put the stamp on the clear block with the leaves/dots against the clear block (meaning I used the back side). I inked it up in Mossy Meadow, stamped off once, and then onto my card. Then I cleaned it, turned it over, inked it in Mossy Meadow and stamped it full strength. I finished it off with some Painted Blooms Cotton Twine….so soft!! How fabulous is that look?!?!?!? Using that solid back side really gives a great look. I learned this trick when I was watching Stampin’ Up’s Live Leadership Event! I love learning these new tips and tricks!!! Now to figure out what other stamps would look amazing with this trick!

Happy Stampin’
