Thinking of You - Have a Treemendous Day


Another blog post from me today, this time my card for the "Less is More" challenge which is a picture inspiration, pop over to the site and check out the fabulous DT cards they are fabulous.

thankful tones


I love the beautiful colours in this picture and remembered I had a few paint strips in my work box which might match, I also had a tree embossing folder which has never been used, this is how I used them.


Using an off white felt card I made a 15cm x 15cm square top fold card.  I embossed a paint strip, in similar colours to the picture, with a tree embossing folder and also embossed the tree on a dark brown piece of card.  The paint strip was lined up on the brown card which was mounted onto a piece of the white card.  I mounted this onto the card blank and added a simple greeting.

I am trying to get things tidied up and blog posts posted as I am away for a few days.  Don't know if I will be able to get wifi so I will try check out your blogs to see what you have been up to
when I get back.

    These are all so gorgeous. I love the images stamped onto textured card stock, it always looks so elegant.
    The card using the pain sample swatch is genius with the matching up embossed image.

    Hugs and <3
