Father's Day card for DH. I started with the trees as they are cut from a new die which I acquire at a thrift store on the weekend! Yeah when that happens. It is brand new - never been opened. It is a yellow Sizzix and the perfect size for making cards. There were several others which I left because they were too large for cardmaking.
I cut three trees, stamped them with bleach and then added green watercolour to give them a bit of texture and interest. I cut a navy card and added the dark brown word scrap booking paper to it. I auditioned my trees and found this little greeting in my stash (Desert Diva) that would work for my sketch. I auditioned the yellow circle of handmade paper and really liked that so I adhered it in place and then added my trees - the two side ones with double sided tape and the middle one with 3D foam tape. I watercoloured the greeting and mounted it over the stems of my trees using 3D foam tape as well. To finish it off I decided to add a little length of kraft fiber to the top. I used a 1/16" hole punch to make a hole in the spine of my card and threaded the fiber through and tied it with a double knot. Loving it!!
