Cinema Saturday - Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

It has been far too long since I've played along with my favorite blog challenge - the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Each week I *intend* to play, but somehow it doesn't quite happen. But this week I MADE SURE to get my card done! The movie is one of my favorite - the second of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. My card is inspired by my favorite character in this movie, Treebeard, and the rest of the Ents. I used my FireCracker Designs by Pamela set called Little Things (which I thought was an aptly titled set to use for a movie primarily about Hobbits!). The rule this week was to include embossing - I used clear embossing powder in a resist technique, so I could use a brayer to create the background without inking up the trees. The "Have Courage" sentiment is also in this same set - again, appropriate, because those little Hobbits show such great courage in all of the Lord of the Rings movies! Thanks Brooke & Sankari for another fun inspiration!

  6. I love this card! Is this the same color scheme you used for the one cupcake to rule them all? That's a great tree stamp. I want to draw a face and a beard on it, but of course, I can't draw....

  8. HI Libby! I haven't been around much checking out my fav. blogs. So I stopped in and I love what I have been looking at. FaceBook and FarmTown were overtaking my life. But I think I am back on track and back in the creating mode.
    I opened up an Etsy shop for my creations as well. Hope to be back playing with Courtney's Closet challenges soon! Hugs from one Texan to another. Beautiful cards too!!!
