AESTAMPS A LATTE: Sunday Stamps! #314

Hello to my crafty friends! I have been blessed to have just finished a wonderful mother-n-daughter vacation in which we hiked and explored the trails of Mount Rainier, Washington. All I can say is wowza to all the beauty that is out there!! One of the most gorgeous terrains, old growth forests, flowers, trees and of course the mountains I have ever experienced. The state of Washington is beautiful and I feel blessed to have shared it with my daughter. :)

Because I still have the outdoors fresh on my mind, I chose to create a masculine outdoor themed birthday card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! using the Grassy Grove stamp set and coordinating Grove Dies.

I chose to create with these colors after finding a tree patterned piece of DSP from the One Horse Open Sleigh 6" x 6" DSP (an online exclusive product) as it reminded me of our last hiking day in which the morning was cool and misting out. Here are a few pictures of our last hike and the mist I am referring to:

It was the only day that started out cool and misty. The other days were sunny with blue skies. So thankful for it all.

To create my card, I stamped several tree images: two using Pebbled Path ink and three using Gray Granite and Pebbled Path ink before die cutting them out.

After figuring out my tree layout, I decided it needed a "woodsy" border of some kind and found the Deckled Rectangle Dies to work perfectly.

While I was at it, I decided to add a Pebbled Path die cut deer and some Pebbled Path Jute Trim. Do you know how much I love the Jute Trim?! Its fantastic for masculine cards. :)

Lastly, and in following this weeks challenge at Sunday Stamps!, I added my happy birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set stamped in Memento Black ink.
