Throwback Thursday!

Hiya and welcome to another Throwback Thursday Challenge. For this challenge we are using any retired cricut cartridge. You can go HERE for a list of retired cartridges. For my card today I used the Camp Out cartridge. I cut the base of the tree out of kraft cardstock and stamped the trunk with the Distressed Wood stamp from PinkByDesign. I cut the top of the tree out of watercolor paper and went crazy with about a billion distress inks. ;) I finished it by misting with copper perfect pearls.
The perfectly adorable sentiment is from Emma's set called All Around Halloween. OH and I also made my background paper out of watercolor paper and distress inks...and if you look VERY closely, you can see that along the bottom I used Emma's Stitched Only Circle Die which embosses. So it adds texture without cutting. ;) Ok...pop over to Emma's Blog to see what she and the other ladies made...AND to play along with us!!!!

***Since this is the challenge before Emma's new release...whoever plays along in this challenge has the change to be entered to win Emma's 9th Edition stamp release on the 19th!!! You only have one week to get your entries in this time...deadline for this challenge is Aug 17th***

  6. I am one of your biggest fans Nikki but this card kinda depresses me. You did a great job with your coloring but I guess I wish there was more colors added . Thats just my thoughts cuz I really think you are truly blessed with a gift of creativity.
