Welcome
Thank you for visiting my blog again - it is much appreciated
This card was made sometime ago, but I forgot to blog it. I started with the large stamp from the Stampin' Up set Lovely as a Tree (now retired) This was one of my first SU stamps, and one of the most used too. I stamped it twice, both times with only part of the image, to give me a row of trees.
I embossed the image in gold, and then lightly coloured the trees with sponges,using Memento Bamboo Shoot ink, and the 'grass' using Cottage Ivy.
When I first made this I was not happy with how the sky turned out, but I do like it now as it gives it some character and movement.
The panel was mounted over some corrugated card that I had torn one surface off, and then coloured with Inka Gold Copper
The sentiment was stamped and embossed in copper also.

I absolutely love this Maxine, I'm a real Treeaholic and also love a bit of corrugated and the combination of both really make for a rustic natural feel. The tree stamp is my one and only SU stamp and gets used often.

Flying by for some quick blog love, man, no time these days! But wanted to say hi and drink in some of the gorgeousness of your latest makes. This is so serene and lovely hun. Hugs, Wends xoxo
This is a beauty Maxine. I love the grass you sponged, it looks like the trees are casting shadows on it. And the clouds I totally get what you mean, there was a card on which I thought the clouds didn't look nice.. but to all those who saw it, thought that I was very skillful in making them so fluffy :D I get happy when such things happen, hehe.
It's Beautiful Maxine, the embossed trees and the appealing corrugated card you have mounted it on...great card.xx
This is like a painting. The trees look divine and so does the corrugated paper etc.
Love,

I love trees and this is one of the most beautiful tree-row-stamps I know... It looks great with that sky and even better with the contrast you gave it with the carton and warm sunny base! Hugs, Gerrina
A fabulous card Maxine, a lovely scene and your corrugated edges look great.

I love how you made your design with the long line of pretty shiny trees, Maxine! This was my very first stamp purchase and I still have it and still love it! Funny how so many of us started out around the same time and fell in love with this stamp! I also love how you mounted it to the embellished corrugated panel!! Hugs, Darnell
