I have always liked this stamp set so I couldn’t work out why I have only just bought it now (Probably coz there are just too many great stamp sets and I like them all)???  Sorry about the picture quality but my digital camera has decided to die on me for the third time so I had to scan this card, the card doesn’t actually end where the Black CS does on the right hand side.  Needless to say the camera is heading back to the repairers AGAIN!!!!  Lucky it is still under warranty. 

The new in-colours that we have this year are just fantastic.  At first my favourites were Purely Pomegranate and Wild Wasabi (which are both very delicious) but I am now really loving the other four colours just as much. Check out the colours on the online catalogue via the Stampin’ Up link on my homepage if you haven’t already purchased your new 2008-2009 catalogue from me or contact me to purchase a copy.  

Now for the card:  I embossed the Lovely as a Tree stamp with Black EP (Embossing Powder) onto Whisper White CS (Cardstock), sponged around the outside with Basic Black Ink, then mounted it onto River Rock and then Basic Black CS.  I used the Best Wishes stamp from the Sincere Salutations set and stamped this with Basic Black Ink onto Whisper White CS and sponged the outside, added a few brads and then mounted it onto Basic Black CS.  I then stuck them both onto the River Rock Card. 

The River Rock goes very nicely with Black and White.  This makes a great blokey card (for some reason men are the hardest to make cards for) and it does look so much better in real life.  Thanks for looking and I will try to keep you up-to-date on my creations and happenings.   Melissa :0)
