Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty with Rustic Retreat
Today was not a very creative card day. I made 4 cards before I settled on this one. Each one seemed to be tackier than the one before. So they were filed in the treasure file– you know the round bin!
The card I am sharing is from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat and Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty (available Sept 4th). This is stamp set is one of the “Be A Difference Maker ” sets. A portion of each stamp set sold will go toward mental health and we all know someone who needs that help.
My challenge for the day is Try Stamping on Tuesday or Not. It would have been simple to add a bird to my card but did not notice the optional theme of adding something with wings until I was copying the icon for my blog.
My card has a Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock base with a Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock and a Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock mat. This mat is the background panel and has been stamped with one of the tree stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set. I believe SU must be trying to make up for retiring Lovely As A Tree as the trees in this set reminds me of the trees in Lovely As A Tree stamp set. The smaller background panel has also been stamped using the tree stamp. This also has a Crumb Cake and Real Red mat. I cut a length of Stampin’ Up! Burlap Ribbon in two pieces horizontally and adhered around the panels before adhering to the card base. 
An image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Up! Crumb Cake ink and after setting with the heat tool, it is colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blend Markers in Light Real Red, Light Crumb Cake, Light Smoky Slate, Light Pineapple Punch, and Light Shaded Spruce. 
Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins and Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are randomly placed on the card front after the art piece is popped on using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set and is stamped on the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White circle that has been cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shape Dies.
The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note but I added a few trees as decoration.
In finishing, I stamped trees on the envelope flap and in the lower right corner.
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you like my card. Have a blessed Saturday and weekend.
