Good Morning!
Have any fun plans for this weekend? I am so excited that it is supposed to be 63 today!!! Spring has come early this year and I like it!
Our Crazy challenge this week is in celebration of International Earth Day, Silke has challenged us to include a tree on our cards or projects! How fun is that? Get out your tree stamps and play along with us!
Here is my card ~
The layout of this card is from MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club sketch found HERE! The base of this card is Vintage Cream CS with a mat of Early Espresso and then Kraft CS. All of the DP is from MY NEW FAVORITE papers from MME Stella & Rose Mabel Collection. The trees, from MFT's Grow Love, Plant A Tree set, were paper pieced after being stamped using Early Espresso ink. The "grass" was punched using my Martha Stewart grass punch and stamped with a sentiment from MFT's Sheltering Tree set using Early Espresso ink. I then added some natural burlap string and a clear SU! heart button. The clouds were cut using MFT's Cloud Die-namics and some off white felt also from MFT.
Here is a closer look ~
