Create with TLC Image #4

For this card I've combined the digi image from TLC with a Penny Black stamp and some great Graphic 45 paper I was fortunate to win in one of the Pumpkin Spice Freebie Friday contests.  

Both die cuts were made using Spellbinders dies, then edged using an embossing pen and heat embossed with SNS Antiquities EP.  The sentiment was also heat embossed.  I colored the image with markers before fussy cutting and mounting on the die cut.  I left off the ribbons and bling to keep this card relatively masculine.

I'll be adding this card to the party in celebration of World Card Making Day at Create withTLC.

23 minute countdown

There are 2 very yummy oatmeal raisin cakes in the oven and I have less than 23 minutes until it is finished.  Hopefully I can get this posted before then.

We have had an interim pastor at our church for a year now.  Sadly he is leaving on Sunday, and my mother requested a card for him.

Inside it says, " Best Wishes, Thanks So Much, and Happy Retirement".  Our church was to be his last calling before he and his wife move to the Poconos and enjoy retirement together.  It will be beautiful there shortly with all the fall leaves.

For this card I've used all Penny Black rubber stamps and cut the leaves and acorns using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.
