Welcome to a lovely Friday - I just love Spring - the Cherry Trees are in blossom, the garden is starting to flourish and the daffodils are nearly out :-) It will be 20 degrees today for the first time since May and so a trip to the Garden Nursery for summer veggies is not far away :-)
It's also time for a fun new challenge at Just Add Ink! This week Narelle has suggested a lovely sketch for us all to use. I hope you can take a moment and pop over and see what our wonderfully talented Team have made to inspire you :-)
Here is the sketch:
Such a fabulous sketch :-)
Here is my card:
I have taken a little artistic licence with the circle element of the sketch but hopefully you can still see it in my card. I was excited to try a 3D tree with these fabulous new framelits that have just arrived:-) There are 4 stamped trees to give it some dimension and the background is from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum stack - so sparkly in real life!
The simple "peace" greeting is cut from the new Thick Whisper White card stock - it is so much stronger and indeed thicker - perfect for die cutting from as the words hold their shape and have a little extra height too. Definitely a favourite already :-)
Designer Series Paper: Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack
Ink: Pear Pizzaz
Stamps: Peaceful Pines
Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Pines Framelits, Christmas Greetings Thinlits, Triple Banner Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack (star).
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment and pop on over to Just Add Ink and see the fabulous creations our Team have made to inspire you! And I look forward to seeing what you will create with this lovely sketch this week too :-)
Happy stamping until next time,
Jan
Pretty, love that the tree can go 3D and yet lay flat to mail. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much AJ! Yes, you are so right about it lying flat for the mail - I forgot to mention that, thank you :-)
