The Write Stuff

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A227)  on Splitcoast, the theme is Summer. I remember spending many a summer day in a treehouse my best friend Emily and I built when we were around 8 or 9.  Ours had 2 stories and it was awesome! Emily had a twin sister who was besties with my sis. They were no where near as tomboy as we were. So we tried to charge them a nickel to come up in our fabulous treehouse. They decided they’d build their own in a nearby tree. Oh man…Emily and I almost fell our of our treehouse laughing. They tried to build it from the top down and didn’t get very far. A couple of boards, then they’d want to paint. 

So my treehouse was stamped, colored and die cut. I started by stamping the fence, masking as I went, then masked the whole fence and stamped the treehouse behind it. The red, lt blue and navy layers were all leftovers and they fit just about exactly so I used them. The greeting was stamped on the lt blue and to fill in down the left side, I embossed a border. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. The challenge is pretty easy…just show us your new toys..an image, a die cut, an embossing folder…whatever’s new! DRS images are not required so head on over and link up!
