Evergreen in Greens

Evergreen trees come it all types of greenery. I love this time of the year and the smell of the evergreen wreaths, trees and swags. The best time of the year in my mind.  I had a short shift today so did a little shopping for the angel tree at church. Then came home and fell asleep reading my emails. I was up to 4 AM to get to work by 6. I wanted to try to get back into stamping so thought I would check out some card challenges when I woke up and here I am with a card and back into stamping. This card is for the Paperplayers and for Retrosketch this week.  Getting it in under the wire. 

I used last year's Evergreen set that I love and won't get rid of. LOL! I stamped the trees in 3 different greens and then die cut with the Circles Collection Framelits and cut a banner out of the Season  Of  Style DSP and then the Be of Good Cheer greeting comes from the very popular Endless Wishes that you can't even get anymore as they ran out of it. It had snowflakes and a bunch of greetings and I am happy I got it.

Ring Ring, Anyone There?

Oh, Hello again my friends. I am back with another card for the Retro Sketch Challenge for this week. This Timeless Talk was another set that my friend  Julia had that I don't so wanted to play with it. I wanted to make another card with the lovely Tape It stamp set which I figured was just perfect for this challenge.  I love that set to make it look like I used Washi Tape. Love it!

Yes, this card just makes me happy like being around my friend Julia. Here is a picture of us at that garden we visited.

I had the best time with her last weekend and it just went so darn fast. She is such a dear treasured friend. Look at her in her pearls. So classy!

On my card I used the Color Coach to pick the colors and they came out so pretty and bright I think.
I used Pumkin Pie for my card base and then a layer of Whisper White. The colors I used for the Tape IT images are Basic Gray, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the image for the phone on a scrap of Whisper White and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I punched it out with the Scallop Circle Punch. Then I stamped the Oh, Hello from the stamp set Oh, Hello. Julia couldn't find the other Hello there so I used that one. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then sponged but with Pumpkin Pie ink. I used the Gorgeous Grunge set to stamp between the tape images.
