Hey everyone! Well I have to tell you my mom is amazing!! She really is.. after visiting the hospital 3 times yesterday with Liberty.. she thought I needed a "crafty break!" She totally knows that "creative time" for me is the best stress reducer.. So I got to play.. :) I have to tell you I love Unity Stamps. The quality of the stamps are amazing, and the designs ROCK! :) So I grabbed one of my favorites for now.. it's called "in the clouds." I never feel like I have enough boy cards, and I feel like they are so much harder to create then girly cards.. so I wanted to give it a whirl.. :)
All my paper is from Cosmo Cricket collection social club. (I LOVE Cosmo Cricket papers).. they are having a sketch contest going on right now too.. so I thought I would join in! :)
For the "road" in my card I used some teal/blue patterned paper, I pleated it for fun, and some cream twine to make it look like the "lines" of the road :) 
I really wanted to give this card textures, so I grabbed my Martha Stewart shredding scissors and made some "grass... I love the patterns that were in this collection and I thought they would be perfect..
I ended up pop dotting the clouds, and adding some paper piercing around the clouds and the whole card for added dimension. Oh I also used Unity burnt amber ink.. it's more of a brown.. and I love the feel it gave the card.. I distressed the heck out of it..:)
Thanks so much for your sweet comments about Liberty.. I am hoping she will be okay now.. :)
HUGS to everyone who leave me comments.. they really make my day! :)
