 Hello .  We are back from our trip to northern British
Columbia to see our Grand Children and their parents. We had an amazing time, those are such precious moments and I wish they lasted so much longer. Our Grandson, Blake, turned 9 and we went up to celebrate his birthday with him, and visit our Grand Daughter, Maggie. I don't usually share pictures of our Grand Children, but here's
a picture of them playing in the snow, you can't see their faces.  And my boots too. It was cold and snowy and I loved every minute of it! We headed up into the mountains for a campfire and a chance for the kids to play in the deeper snow.  Nature's Sweetness Class & Tutorial Subscription Registration is open now!

The largest flower from the Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the
Textured Floral Dies. The medium and small flowers from the same stamp set were stamped on Basic White using Moody Mauve ink, and cut out with the corresponding dies. The larger foliage image was stamped on Basic White using Smoky Slate ink, and die cut. An additional foliage element was cut from Smoky Slate Cardstock using the small leaf branch die from the same set.
Vellum Cardstock was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and then cut to size. The foliage and floral die
cut elements were arranged in the centre of the panel as shown, with the Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue elements adhered to the embossed vellum using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Moody Mauve flowers attached using Stampin' Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Moody Mauve ink, and both ends cut at an angle. The strip was attached to the bottom of the vellum panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.
The finished panel was then adhered to a Moody
Mauve folded card base, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue applied behind the stamped images so that the adhesive didn't show through the vellum layer.
