Hi everyone. This is the birthday card I made for my good friend, Nancy. Her birthday was yesterday ... I hope you had a wonderful birthday, dear friend!!! :)
This tree is one from a set I recently purchased from Paper Smooches. I just love the fall leaves as they turn the beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red. I sponged several colors of ink onto Whisper White card stock and then used it to paper piece the tree top. The trunk is a piece of Soft Suede card stock that I embossed with my woodgrain embossing folder, sponged with more ink to darken the embossed lines and then paper pieced as well. I added small bits of Autumn Flower Soft to the tree top and also on the grass at the base of the tree. Easy and fun card to make.
Here's a close-up:
Stamps: Spring Groves (Paper Smooches); Sunny Sentiments (Amy R)
Paper: White, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz (SU!)
Ink: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Big Shot, Woodgrain embossing folder (SU!), Grass Border (Cheery Lynn), Autumn Flower Soft, sponges, glue, adhesives and dimensionals
I'm entering this into two challenges:
CAS-ology #63 - Autumn
CAS-ual Fridays (CFC115) - Fall Colors plus a leaf
