Nature's Beauty- deer

 

'Nature's Beauty' is a cool new image stamp in the Holiday Catalog on page 63.  Be sure you check it out!!  I will be sharing some more cards using this stamp set in the coming weeks.  It is a great set with endless possibilities! 

I just love this deer.  What a great guy card this is!

If you look closely, notice that I used the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.  I used my Sponge Brayer (on page 181) to ink the embossing folder, with Early Espresso ink, before I embossed it.  It looks pretty cool.  The detail in the embossed images show up.  Don't you just love the look of this cool Brick added to this card front!

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  Masen, Ainslee & I went out to eat lunch with some of my family- to celebrate my mom's birthday!  The other 4 boys got out of school early (@ 1:30), due to the heat.  They all rode the bus out here.  So our house was kind of wild, but fun to have them all here.  

We all went to Brody & Drake's football game.  Deke & I then made a quick trip to Osky to deposit a hog check.  I worked on stamping stuff when we got home.

This morning I'm off early to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & then spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  Tonight I'll be stamping again!

Gotta run.......
I hope you have a great Thursday!

Happy Stamping!
