Tent Card



My first tent card and it is so fun! Start with a piece of cardstock 41/4 x 81/2" and fold in half. Then you can add what you want on top, actually I could have gone a little higher with this one, but I didn't! I used the new With Gratitude stamp set and had been playing with the wet watercolor method, which is......spritz cardstock with water and stamp with Pumpkin Patch Spectrum Pad. Let this dry and then stamp over it again to define the lines. I used Vanilla Cardstock for the square "tent" the Hope is stamped with Old Olive and mounted on Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin Pie ribbon across the top of some Brocade Background Designer Paper and then I cut out some leaves to spread on top. You can't really see it well, but I did use some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds on the extra leaves. Not sure I like that but it needed something to spark it up a bit. I'll try to think of something else another time, any suggestions? I love feedback, stampers! This is a fun card and I'm sure I'll make some more.
