Woodland Hello

Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Color Throwdown post, please scroll down one.  Thanks.

Nothing like squeaking in at the last minute thanks to migraines, but I'm making it.  This week's Love To Create #61 challenge is for the guys, so I pulled out my News From The Woods stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company and got to work.  After stamping the birch trees in memento black onto vanilla card stock, I then stamped the peeking bear and owl images twice so one set could be popped up for added dimension before coloring with koh-i-noor pencils and a blender marker.  Then I added some scrap designer paper from my stash to the card, layered the birch trees and added my popped up peeking images.  The final touch was stamping the saying onto a punched stippled vanilla oval layered onto a die cut panel I had received as a gift (thanks Janis).  I'll also be submitting this card for the Pause Dream Enjoy Friendship challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend
