Ok … I blinked and another weekend just WHOOSHED by! But the great news is that it’s Monday Montage time again! Yay!
And once again I’m sharing another creation I put together while I was up in Walla Walla visiting Bree (@craftsomnia).
I have a love/hate relationship with “mountainous” images. I LOVE looking at the sets and they are always beautiful … but I seem to always HATE what I end up creating with them! In an effort to try NOT to do something that looks like what everyone else has already done, I usually end up making something that no one would really want to do anyway!
This card, however, turned out pretty and I like it!
I was trying to evoke a “sunrise” sort of vibe. I actually think it looks more like a sunset, but who can really tell??
After using the Scenic Adventure Dies to cut out several “mountains” (I used Peach Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Basic Gray, and Basic Black - from back to front), I sponged the edges of each of the mountains and trees with their coordinating ink.
I used the pretty oval shapes from the Impressions Abloom Dies to create the frame for the scene. Since the dies are slightly different in size and the larger one only cuts the “outline” it was kinda tricky getting all the colors to cut and line up, but I think it turned out pretty cool.
For the sun I used a small circle of Daffodil Delight cardstock (which I also sponged, as well as the white cardstock behind the sun). I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the circle … but you could use a punch or any other circle shape to achieve the same look.
Then … what’s not to love about a corrugated texture?? The new Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder?? Perfection!
The hexagon with the sentiment is from the “Meant to Bee” dies. They were handy at Bree’s so I just used one of them!
And I actually created something with NO ribbon/twine/thread and NO embellishments! That’s something I haven’t done for a while!

After having done the Ragnar Zion Trail Run (a week ago) and the Ogden Half Marathon (this past Saturday), I am happy to be able to take a rest from racing for a little while! Proud of myself, though!
