Summer Trees!

This card was actually made last week with all the others, but I never got around to stamping a greeting and taking a picture! It's been a long, busy week!  

For this card, I was inspired by the current Inkspirational Challenge. Amazingly, I'm not too late to link! 

I actually used two stamp sets here, but you can't see one of them, unless you look very closely. I wanted sun shining behind the trees, but the trees covered up the rays, haha! Oh well.... I ran the trees die through the Bark embossing folder to add some texture and detail. I also sponged on some sky and some grass. Finally I layered up three colors of tree leaf die cuts, scattered all over the trees! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Inspired By Nature, After The Storm
Ink: Soft Suede, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizazz, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Basic White, Sahara Sand, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Inspiring Canopy, Bark embossing folder, Dimesionals, Big Shot (retired), Sponges (retired)

Hot summer flowers

Is it hot in your area? It was soooo cold all spring (snow in June) and now it is dang hot. Its actually "normal" hot but since it was cold so long its now too hot. This card looks like August to me.... hee hee! I sort of based in on a card I made a couple years ago which you can see HERE.
