Crumb Artichoke Lovely Tree

I hope all my friends in the US had a great 4th of July today! Hubby had to work today so we BBQ'd when he got home and then we just hung out with the kids. We have 22 hrs of daylight right now so fireworks really aren't impressive this time of year...we save that fun for New Years Eve!

Thanks to the holiday I did get a paid day off from work and that enabled me to get some stamping done. For this card I combined 2 challenges...Dynamic Duos and Freshly Made Sketches. This is my 3rd card using this weeks Dynamic Duos challenge, so you can tell I like it! I did switch it up though and instead of a red color I used Always Artichoke. :)



Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Crumb Cake, To The Nines Specialty DSP(retired), Watercolor Paper, Very Vanilla(inside card)
Ink: Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice EF, Small Oval Punch, sponge, dimensionals

    Happy 4th of July! I remember when we were in Kodiak we always went to the beach and had a BBQ and roasted marshmallows. We would wait till midnight to start the fireworks but it still wasn't that dark.
    Lovely sympathy card and love the tree stamp.

    That is some of my favorite DSP! So pretty and perfect for your card. I have yet to ink that stamp set up...this is great inspiration. Looks like you are really having fun with this week's challenge, indeed. :)
