CARD 6

We had enough White paper available to add a writing panel on the inside of each Brown card base. That makes me a happy camper when I want to write my greeting inside with a standard black pen. CARDS 7-8

This stamped sentiment is from the UM
Greetings -- one of my favorites for a birthday wish.

Ink the large collage image with several colors, starting with the lighter shades first to avoid inkpad contamination. Tie a small bow with the jute fiber and adhere the leaf with bookbinding glue.

I like the versatility of this paper-pieced card. Consult the instructions for more detail, but you can duplicate this technique with any stamped sentiment. The "go take a hike" image came from the
Borders & Backgrounds sheet. It matches the size of the "tent" image, which made it a perfect fit for the spot. (Stamp on the plain side of the printed panel.)

The tent sentiment is on a separate panel and was attached with foam adhesive.

Have a creative road trip! (I hope it's not too "in tents".) Tricia
