My first card is serving two purposes – the Stampin’B’s challenge for this week and also Day 3 of the Blog Hop.
Faith was the hostess for this week’s Stampin’B’s challenge, and she wanted us to make a scenic card. I created my scene using the mountains from Regal and Proud, sponged with Tim Holtz Distressed ink (Tea Dye and Bundled Sage) and then cut out. I glued it to a piece of yellow cardstock embossed with the Tim Holtz Rays embossing folder, which I had inked up with TH Wild Honey. The bottom panel is also embossed – this time with the Cuttlebug folder Distressed Branches.
My second project was a little more involved – a pop-out card, which I made with the help of my Ultimate Crafters Companion. There was lots of masking and sponging in making this card. The same mountain scene from the front was used again inside. This time the eagle is suspended on a piece of twine in the opening. The black flourishes on the inside were cut using a long Sizzix die.
-----------
I doubt that the mountains in this set represent the Smokey Mountains, but these salt and pepper shakers are the only ones I have that seemed appropriate for today.
Don’t forget -- For another chance to win a free stamp set, be sure to visit the blogs of the rest of the design team and comment on each.

Beutiful cards Lois - the embossed background is awesome on your first card!
I love how scenic these both are, Lois! Great texture on the first, and I love the inside of the secondas well as the front!!
All great cards, but I especially like the first card. It is very dramatic in appearance.
The first card is my favorite but I know you put a lot of work into both of them.

Gorgeous, I love that sunset, so impressive. Heather:)
Wow!!! LOVE that scene in the 1st card with the sunrays!
Love your fantastic projects, Lois! That pop-out card is amazing. Great work with this set! Those sun rays are outstanding :)
If you get two of these from me, it's because I am suffering from early morning brain disfunction. Somehow, it all disappeared so wasn't sure it got sent. Again, I love these elaborate, wonderful cards and those fabulous shakers.
What exquisite work with this fabulous set, Lois!! So very beautiful!
Lois, your scene card is gorgeous...very creative with your embossing and I also love the other one. Loving your work.
Awesome cards Lois! I love them both and they are bith so different. The sun rays are impressive on the 1st and I am always amazed at pop out cards (they intimidate me!) Fabulous scenic cards! And cute salt and pepper shakers too!!
Both cards are wonderful! Love how you used the ray embossing folder on the first one!
I love the sky in the first card! It looks sensational! Your pop out card is really cool too!
Great job on that sunburst, Lois. Both cards are fabulous. I am so enjoying your salt & pepper shakers.
Beautiful cards...great job. Love the salt and pepper sets.
Ohhh MARVELOUS creations! Love each one!
That first card calls to me...simply wonderful...great with those embossing folders!
Such neat ideas with that mountain range...like the sun's rays coming from behind!
I never have made a pop out card, very cool! And I like the sky you sponged in for the mountains, I have used that technique before and just didn't think of it for this stamp! Very neat effect with the rays as well, the sun going down over the mountains.
I gotta try that sunray technique. Two beauties again, Lois!
Wow Lois these are incredible! I love your use of the embossing folders on the first and the second card design is fabulous!
I love the scenes you created with the mountain stamp. Gorgeous rays and clouds! :)
Wonderful scenic cards--I like your sun rays on the first and the pop up eagle on the second.
Excellent showcasing of the images in both cards, Lois!!
Love those sun rays and your card is so dramatic!! Love it and the stamps! Thanks for the inspiration!

Two cards-WOW! Love the texture that goes so well with the first card. The second card with the cutout is beatuiful too. My mom use to collect S&P shakers.
Lois...both scenic cards are fabulous...esp. love the way you use the emb. fldr. as the sun/sky
Oh Lois--these are beautiful!!! I love how you colored the 2nd card, but the first one takes my breath away!!! The embossing folder was perfect! TFS
