Beyond Background Basics AECP

Well, today was the day I started to work on my level 2 certification.
the first class I completed was Beyond Background Basics.

I am going to try and work on each of the classes throughout the summer, hoping to complete the level 2 classes.

First I want to thank my family and friends for supporting me during the loss of my mother, it has been a difficult time.  Even though I'm not sure I'm ready to move forward, I need to focus on something other than loss.  This is why I decided to focus on the AECP program.

I totally loved all the videos in the class, but the one about creating your own background was totally awesome!
First I created a grid on my cardstock, then I started in the middle with my stamps, working outward and repeating with the 4 different stamps in the set Wildflowers!

I rounded the corners, added a bit of vellum, die cuts (2), dots and a stamped sentiment to finish te look! 

The products that I used for this card
Stamps - Wildflower Garden and My Family
Die - Stript Word
Dots - Rock Collection and Green Fields
Ink and Cardstock*  - Forest Glades*, Industrial Diamond, Desert Night, Ocean Waves, Navy*, White, Vellum

Enjoy!
