The Hardest Climb

There's a new challenge up at StampNation-hosted by my crafty pal Susan. (StampNation is an online resource where "paper crafters share the love of stamping and card making!) She challenged us to create a project inspired by our favorite tv show or movie.

Recently, I finished watching the series Everwood. It worked it's way into becoming one of my favorite shows-reminding me of high school and college times. I was inspired by Everwood's setting...the beautiful state of Colorado. I just had to pull out the Mountain of Thanks Stamp Set from Catherine Pooler Designs again.

My card today was created by first by applying It's a Girl, Sweet Sixteen, Suede Shoes and Juniper Mist to a panel of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock using the direct ink to paper technique, then die cutting the pattern from the Right Angle Cover Plate Die to form an abstract sky. Then I used Juniper Mist and  Suede Shoes ink to stamp the mountains from the Mountain of Thanks Stamp Set, die cut with the Mountain of Thanks Dies, and It's a Girl and Sweet Sixteen for the clouds. I finished with a stamped sentiment in Juniper Mist from Mountain of Thanks, and a larger coordinating Congratulations sentiment from the Congratulations Sentiment Stamp Set stamped in It's a Girl.

My work team is prepared to internally transfer a team member to be a team lead, and I'm excited to hand over this card to whomever gets the position, as I know that each one of us works extremely hard!

I hope you get a chance to play along if you are a StampNation member with this fun challenge! If not, please consider joining the StampNation community!
