<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">Here is the 3rd and last of my Class Cards for June.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">This set uses a combination of FIVE different stamp sets. I think it's necessary to learn to use more then one stamp set on your projects. It gets you out of a rut you may be in when not feeling creative.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">The first set of called Garden Tags. This is a BEAUTIFUL stamp set and is the June Stamp of the month. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">I used the single daisy stamp to stamp a background on Candy Apple Red Cardstock with Candy Apple Ink. I also added the splotches from the "</span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=13667" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">A Million Little Things</span></a><span style="color: #f6b26b;">" Stamp Set. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">Then I stamped the Boots from "</span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=13654" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Make A Splash</span></a><span style="color: #f6b26b;">" on the light side of Lemonade Cardstock with Intense Black ink, then stamped the dots with Ruby Ink. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">The flowers coming out of the boots are from the "</span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=13660" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Mason Jar Bouquet</span></a><span style="color: #f6b26b;">" Stamp Set and fussy Cut. This set does come with thin cuts to die cut them out, But, I forgot to order them. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">The Sentiment is from the "</span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/Retail/product.aspx?itemid=13111" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">You're Not Getting Old</span></a><span style="color: #f6b26b;">" Stamp Set. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here is another Fall card. I absolutely LOVE the fall season with all of it's vibrant colors. I live in NE Pennsylvania, so I can't wait for Peak season for our trees.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I started this card by sanding the CTMH white core </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10249" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">New England Ivy Cardstock</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> in both directions.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I stamped the designs from the Hawthorn SB Stamps in the corners with New England Ivy Ink and then splattered the entire front with watered down White Paint. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I then started stamping the leaves by using the following Inks: </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9314" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Goldrush</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">, </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9333" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Ruby</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">, </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11652" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Paprika</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">, and </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9324" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Fern</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">. Then Fussy Cut them all out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">The Big Maple leaf is from the </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12903" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Hawthorn SB Stamps</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> and the smaller ones are from the </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12839&ci=15225" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Autum Air October Stamp of the Month</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">The word Fall was stamped with </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=972" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">VersaMark Ink</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> & </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8056" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">White Embossing Powder</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> onto </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12469" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Sangria Cardstock</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">, then shadow stamped to the left with </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11653" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Sangria Ink</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">. It's hard to see this on the picture. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I die cut two hearts using the </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11147" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Stitched Hearts Dies</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> and stamped the plaid onto the bigger one using the </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12901" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Heart Pattern Stamps</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> along with Goldrush and Fern Inks. The "I LOVE" from the Autumn Air Set was stamped with Paprika Ink onto the small heart. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I finished off the card by die cutting one of the </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12512" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Layered Leaves Thin Cuts</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> using </span><a href="https://nancybrown.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10311" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Gold Foil Cardstock</span></a><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">, cutting the pieces apart, and stuck them in among the stamped leaves.</span></span><br />
