Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable New Year!! We didn't do anything which was great! I went to bed around 9. I was so tired! LOL!!
We are back on track with our Crazy Challenges! Today, our challenge is to celebrate something. anything!! I am celebrating Love which works well since our next holiday is Valentine's day. It is more of a masculine Valentine ~
The base of this card is Naturals White with a mat of cork from MFT. The top blue panel is Marina Mist and the green panel is Pear Pizazz. The darling tree, from Through the Trees, was stamped on Naturals White using Pear Pizazz for the Leaves and Early Espresso for the trunk. The birds were stamped and cut out using Marina Mist ink. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dahlia set and was stamped on Naturals White using Early Espresso ink, punched using my Martha Stewart tag punch and tied on using May Arts natural burlap string. The button is from SU! and the little heart charms were tied on using the same burlap string. The scallop punch is from SU! and the grass punch is from Martha Stewart.
Here is a closer look at the tree details ~
