The Paper Players #806

The deadline for The Paper Players is fast approaching but I did squeeze in some time to make a card.  Putting everything I took to the lake this summer back where it belongs meant actually reorganizing my shelves so everything would fit and look nice.  I'm not done yet but I was anxious to do some card making and The Paper Players was first on my list of challenges. 


The Mountain stencil, which is actually the entire background, and Tree dies and stencils are from Pinkfresh Studio, something I got when I took one of their classes a while ago.  I haven't used it since but thought it fit with the nature theme perfectly.  All stenciling was done with Distress Inks and the trees are popped up.  The sentiment is an oldie from Technique Tuesday. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

What a beautiful scene you have created, Bobby! This is one fabulous mountain stencil. The two tone trees are awesome. I love how the water "flows". Thank you for playing in my theme challenge at The Paper Players this week!
