Today’s card was made using the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set. I did a little bit of Thumping on the tree to get variation in the leaves. Thumping is just bouncing your markers on a stamp using different shades.
The sketch is a CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge from Splitcoaststampers.
This is a great stamp set to use for guy cards. This card could be used for a Father’s Day card.
