Mountain Air and Peaceful Moments

This was a very quick, easy card to make using the Mountain Air stamp set. There are only 7 stamps in this set, but when you look in the annual catalog on page 95, it looks like 14. That is because it is a reversible set. You use one side for the background silhouette and the other side for the detailed texture image. If you purchase this set, you will definitely need the Clear Block I to mount the trees and mountains, but you will need a, b, and c for the other stamps in the set. It is also a Photopolymer set which is a clear set that makes the placement of the stamp image a lot easier. There is also a coordinating die that goes with it called Majestic Mountain Dies on Page 172. Although I didn't use it with this card, it comes with two extra beautiful tree dies and I made a card with those earlier on my blog. You can see both the stamps and dies on my website: MY WEBSITE
