It's a wonderful day when the weather is good and all my kids and their spouses plus a few grands can get together to enjoy a great American pastime - football. Two graduated from Michigan State and 4 from Central Michigan and they played each other yesterday in East Lansing. We had a tailgate party in the parking lot before the noon game (way too much food) and then went to a local pizzeria after (WAY too much pizza). MSU won as predicted but it was a good game and we all had a fun time.
Now to the matter at hand - the photo inspiration at
The Challenge.
I was inspired by the brick wall, the trees and the box of greens.
Embossing paste was used on a MFT brick stencil on Soft Stone cs, leaving the surface a little rough. The rest of the card is make up of Topiaries from PTI with the addition of a burlap stamp on the base and Altenew's wood pallet stamp on a scrap of kraft for the sentiment from Casual Fridays.
Thanks for stopping by. In case you didn't notice, I adjusted the settings on my camera (after reading some intructions) and the photos are coming out much better/lighter.
