Pinterest Inspired Tree Card

Welcome - I am so glad to have you visit.

I needed a masculine card, and could not get any inspiration flowing, so I went to Pinterest and found this card, which I CASED (Change and Share Everything)

I kept to the basic sketch with the circle and tree shape, and a kraft background, which was a sheet of paper from a DCWV Printed Kraft stack rather than stamped layer as in the original.

 I used a Flourishes stamp for the tree from the set Love, Joy, Peace, which appears to be retired.

The (coloured rather than natural) bakers twine was wrapped around the layer rather than just used as a bow.

The tree was stamped using the rock and roll technique, with two colours of green,  then over-stamped with clear embossing ink and clear embossed, which gave an interesting finish.  Once fussy cut, I mounted the tree with heavy glue dots, which gave a little bit of dimension.

I stamped the sentiment on two small banner shapes and after sponging  the edges, they were attached with brads, and left flat.  I also put brads in the corners of the top layer.

The circle was cut from a textured wall paper, which also has a slight gold fleck in it, which can just be seen in the above photograph.

I was pleased with the outcome of this card.
