Wow, it's been a crazy month! We started the month with CHA in Orlando, then last weekend was back to Orlando again with Thomas for the Junior Golf State Team Championship Tournament and to move Ben into his new apartment off campus at UCF. Then, this past week has been filled with Stampers 6 and Stamp Camp. I'm sure my children do not share my relief that school starts in another week and I am looking forward to getting back into a normal routine!
Now, on to today's post! With school starting next week I have totally moved in to fall mode...that means BTS projects and Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! This is just one of the projects we made at this month's Stampers 6 meeting. Every month we learn a new technique and create a 6x6 technique card and a greeting card using that technique. This month we learned the Polished Stone technique. This is such a fun technique because you never know what you are going to end up with and it is so much fun to experiment with different color combinations.
We started by making our Polished Stone background with Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Silver Encore Re-inkers. Then, we heat embossed the Branch Out tree in black. The Designer Series Paper "Cast A Spell" was used on the background panels. The skull at the base of the tree is also from the "Cast a Spell" paper that was simply cut out, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals and covered with Crystal Effects. The sentiment was also heat embossed and then punched with the Word Window Punch and layered on the new Modern Label Punch in Basic Black. I love the way this one came out, I hope you do too!
Thanks for stoppin' by!
