CCEE1728 ~ International Rock Day!

Hi friends!

It's time for another CCEE Stampers challenge #1728 and it's a fun one!

Maryann, our hostess for the month of July, 

asked us to create a card for International Rock Day.

I
I took the rock theme literally to a grand scale ~ the Grand Canyon!
I stamped/colored my Hero Arts National Parks poetic prints 
which was a splurge when they released this set :)
Stamps are just not in the budget, but I knew the minute I saw them, 
I had to have them ♥
The National Parks are an absolute breath of God's beauty,
a vision of grand display.
 

Using hues of red clay dirt and burnt sienna colors for erosion,
these mountainous rocks and beautiful Colorado River grace my card today.
i experimented with these stamps in several different card styles
and I'm really giddy about how all of them came out ...
(those will be on the blog next week!)
because I created a set of cards for my little guy to take to camp :)
 

While I almost always decorate the inside of my cards, too,

this one has a note for my son :)

 

However, here you can see the set in it's entirety ~

and next week, I'll show you the camp card set I made ♥

I love that about the CCEE Stampers and the opportunity 
to create cards outside the box.
No rocky starts to making this card!

How about you?!
We'd love for you to join us with your cards with the rock theme
or using the colors black, white, grey, brown, etc (like me - the etc!)
If you create a card with the DT's theme of Int'l Rock Day,
use the keyword CCEE1728 so we can stop by and leave love :)

And you can see the DT cards here on the CCEE blog.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
