I decided to make a birthday card for the camping loving guy or girl! 

Into the Wild-Z4068

Silver Glitter Paper- Z3239

I used the Silver Glitter Paper and cut the frame with the Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts shown in the first picture. I love how this silver glitter paper looks with the Charcoal background. Charcoal is such a neutral color I decided to brighten up the card with some brighter colors.

So, I removed the center of the frame and re-cut the frame with the White Daisy Cardstock. I used the Carolina stamp pad and blended the ink on this piece. Using the Bluebird stamp pad and the stencil I cut from the Close To My Heart Artbooking Cricut cut and the Stencil Sheet, I blended just a few holes for some texture. I used the  ShinHahn markers to color the camper and doodled with a white gel pen. The background paper is from the paper pack called Into The Wild. 

Stamp set is called:Happy Trails+Thin Cuts (and the Thin Cuts are still available till Aug. 31)
Other colors used: Sapphire and Ruby

You can still purchase the Into the Wild paper pack untill August 31 here. 

Or, contact your Close To My Heart consultant to find out how to purchase this and the other products mentioned.
