Tree Lot for As You See It Challenge #288

The As You See It Challenge this week is a Theme Challenge and the theme is Vacation Activities. That's easy and hard for me: Easy because we most often camp when we go on vacation; hard because I needed to use lot of retired products to complete my sample card for the challenge. Here's the challenge banner:

When we vacation we have a 24' foot travel trailer that lets us go to many places and set up home wherever we travel. I love it. So far, because of Covid travel restrictions, we haven't been out of our home province, but hopefully that will soon change.

We've always loved camping. It's gets you out in the fresh air and the woods and you meet new people and experience nature. We'll probably continue as long as we're physically able to do so.

Here's my card:

• On a card base of Soft Succulent cardstock, I layered a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of the now retired New Horizons DSP.
• Using the retired Tree Lot Dies I die cut three trees from Evening Evergreen and Mint Macaron, with the Mint Macaron backed with adhesive sheets so they stick like stickers to the larger backing pieces. 
• The main trailer piece is die cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock with accents die cut from adhesive-backed Silver Foil Sheets and Basic Black cardstock.
• The sentiment is from the Campology stamp set (still available) and is backed with a Crumb Cake tree ring die cut using the Tree Ring dies (also still available). A bow from linen thread is added.

A quick and easy card to make, but lots of fun, too!

Flowering Tulips for As You See It Challenge #270

 Welcome to another As You See It Challenge sample today! This time our challenge is a Theme Challenge, with the theme of Spring Flowers. And when I think of spring flowers, tulips are the first image that 'springs' to mind! (See what I did there?) Although I've used the Tulip Dies from this bundle, this was the first time I inked up the Flowering Tulips Photopolymer stamp set. a two step stamping process set. I decided to go with a purple/dark green palette using Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow. The Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper has one design with a watercoloured purple wash so I used it as a background.

Here's the Challenge Banner:

Here's how my sample turned out:

• On a Mossy Meadow card base, I added a piece of the Flowering Fields DSP.
• I stamped the larger dark outline of the tulips first in Gorgeous Grape ink. I use the dark ink first because it is so much easier to then line up the smaller inner filler stamp using a lighter ink, Highland Heather. Not only can you see through the lighter ink more easily, but also the dark ink is easier to see as you're looking through the stamp and find matching points to line up with.
• I stamped the stems and leaves in Mossy Meadow, using both large and small leaf images.
• I die cut the image layer using the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add the border.
• The sentiment is from the stamp set as well, and I die cut it using the stitched scalloped circle die from the Tasteful Labels dies.
• I had a piece of Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim that was retired that I used to add a bow above the sentiment. I also added the Brushed Brass Butterfly embellishments.

You can now purchase this beautiful set for yourself. The Waves of Inspiration Bundle are an Early Release from the new 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue coming in May, but the rest of this package is a limited time offer only available until May 2. Here's what you can get:
