I had a handmade card in my head today, and thought I would try it out and see if I can make it look good on paper too.  Guess what?!  I did!  I used the Stampin' Up! set Branch Out and the colors I used are SU!'s Not Quite Navy and Bashful Blue.   I cut an oval then I sponged the outside a LOT, working my way inside until there was a very little space not sponged with Not Quite Navy, making sure that it was darkest on the edges.    I then stamped Branch Out using Not Quite Navy ink.  Stamped some snowflakes using Whisper White Craft ink, and then going over the branches and tire swing with SU!'s white Gel pen.   THEN, I needed some sparkle because you KNOW that snow is sparkly, right?     In spite of this card I am NOT ready for winter!  We just closed our pool and that always makes me think of the seasons coming up.  I hope you like this card, I am planning on doing it at my next Senior Center class on Monday October 5th in Kernersville NC.  The Senior Center can be found downstairs in the Kernersville Library.  The times for the classes are 9:45 and 1:00, even though I have two classes they are exactly the same.  You can come to either one.  The cost is $5.00 if you decide not to buy anything, but if you decide to make a purchase the class is free!!  We also make two other projects.  I hope to see you there!



Isn't this Beautiful?!!  I hope you enjoy this card, and plan on making one of your own at my next class (read paragraph above).

Have a Great Stamping Day!!
