Wetlands revisited

Hello my crafty peeps!

As I'm away I thought I would revisit this post from 2015. Enjoy 😊

It's cool and rainy outside again today, that's why I felt like I could fiddle with a birthday card with the stamp set "Wetlands".  

I thought at first I would use cool colours like Greys, Marina Mist etc.  but I always seem to gravitate to the natural colours of Old Olive, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake when doing the nature stamps.

I am taking a departure from using my copics and really enjoying the water color inks of Stampin' Up!

Hope you like it!

Hugs, Karen

Canada Goose

Good Afternoon my Crafty Peeps!  Question of the day - Heat embossing, yes or no? 
I love the look, and I've been trying to use my heat tool a lot more lately.  (stopped using when I burnt a circle in my craft room carpet last year) 

For today's creation I got inspiration from a card, I found on Pinterest a month ago.  Now I have my oval framelits I can finally go ahead and make.  I used Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder to emboss the Canada Goose from the Wetlands stamp set and the sentiment.  It just gives a little bit more texture, even without anything else done to it!

Inside I used the goose and a phrase from  the Moon Lake stamp set in the new Occasions catalog. 

That's all for now. Thanks so much for checking in with me today. Until tomorrow, have a Tea-rrific day! (My new word)
