Wow - the gold embossed deer on this card by Kimberly is so beautiful! I love the subtle colors added on between the embossing too! Both the deer and the sentiment are from the Adventure Awaits stamp set.

This fun arrow card is by Stephanie! I love how she used the sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set as the focal point and added a die cut arrow from our new Points and Plumes die set pointing toward it. The added circle of twine is such a fun touch!

Nina-Marie did some amazing watercoloring on her card today! I love how the white feathers show through under all the fun splatters and lead your eye down to the "Adventure is waiting" sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set. She also added in a couple of die cut arrows using the new Points and Plumes die set!

Samantha created an amazing background for her card using a ton of the little arrows and feathers from the Adventure Awaits stamp set! Then she added on just a touch of pink and peach and a fun pink tag from the Tag Times Two Die Set! What a gorgeous card!
