A fall 'Winter Woods' card doing the thumping technique!

Here is a monochromatic fall card.  I did the thumping technique here to add color to the trees.  

How did I do the Thumping technique?

• Inked the tree stamp in my Soft Suede Ink
• Stamped off the first time onto my grid paper.  
• Then took my Garden Green & Soft Suede markers & thumped them directly onto the tree stamp.  
• I breathed onto my stamp to remoisten it.
• I then stamped it onto my Very Vanilla card stock.

This morning I'm up early to stamp!  I'll be leaving later this morning to go with Deke to walk in the Delta Parade for his Board of Supervisors Campaign.  AND will then be burning the midnight oil again stamping!

Brody received a good report from Dr. Menezes today! He currently has no concerns and wants us back in a year for a follow-up visit.
He recommended absolutely no contact sports- we aren’t surprised & understand playing football or wrestling is not worth the risk. Brody took the news just fine; he’s excited to play baseball & for Brayden to teach him a thing or two about basketball.
How blessed we are!!!

 

 Manda & Brody!

I love the smiles!

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
hugs,
