Wild Sheltering Tree

Hello everyone! So glad the week is half over! And today is a shorter work day! I get my toes painted this afternoon! Of course it is supposed to get really cold tonight. Geesh! So I'll have pretty toes but won't be able to show them off until the weekend. Oh well. 

Today's card was another that I did with my stamp club ladies this month! A super simple card! I love the spring colors of this one!

• Card base is Wild Wasabi
• Stamp the background of the tree top using Wild Wasabi ink and the smooth side of the tree top stamp from the Sheltering Tree stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White
• Turn over the tree top stamp and use the dots side to stamp the leaves using Garden Green
• Stamp the tree trunk using Chocolate Chip ink
• Stamp the grassy area using Wild Wasabi ink
• Use the Project Life corner rounder to round the two left hand corners of the panel 
• Tie a piece of Wild Wasabi cotton twine from the Painted Blooms cotton twine pack around the panel and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the greeting onto a strip of Soft Sky using Island Indigo ink and adhere to card

Have a great day, everyone! And thanks for stopping by!
