Sheltering Lovely Trees

I received an order for 30 cards this month. There were six in each category requested: Sympathy, Birthday, Get Well, Thank You and BLANK. My mind went BLANK when I read the last requested category!! I never make cards without sentiments for myself, so I really had to work hard to make cards without words on the front. I knew that Lovely as a Tree would be a great stamp set for a background of, well, lovely trees! One color ink and a small background piece of Designer Series Paper (from Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper) and I was almost done. I added a piece of ribbon at the last minute.

Another tree set is Sheltering Tree. You stamp the bare tree, then add "leaves" or "blooms" depending on what colors you choose. Here I used Garden Green ink for my leaves and grass. I used Soft Suede ink for the tree and Crumb Cake stamped off for the ground under the tree.

I hope you enjoyed looking today and that I inspired you to create! Let me know how I can help you make the cards you will love to send.

Lovely as a Tree Father's Day

This was a Workshop card for last night's workshop. I love how easy it is to be an artist using Lovely as a Tree, Memento Black ink, an Aqua Painter and a Stampin' Pad ink puddle! Look at that tree-it's gorgeous and anyone can do it! It's very quick, too! Using the Stitched Framelit to cut out my work of art really ups the artistry on this Father's Day card!

The So Saffron layer of my card has Crumb Cake backgrounds using Timeless Textures, one word of my sentiment on top and another that shows up well using a Shimmery White Classic Label punch.

Thanks for looking today! If you like my card, I'd love to see your comment!
