Trees & leaves

Our September challenge theme over at

We Love Stamping

is trees and/or leaves chosen by Emma.

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs so

be sure and get your entries in.

For my card I used three stamps sets called

Forever Fern, Enjoy Life and Crackle Paint (SU).

I started with a piece of cream card and

stamped with the crackle paint stamp.

I then stamped the leaves around the edges

in green ink.

I then inked in a lighter green around the edges.

I added some yellow above the leaves.

Next I used some embossing paste (SU)

and an old tree branch stencil (SU)

over the top of the leaves and then added

some metallic pearlised dots in red.

Next I splattered here and there with

white ink.

When dry I wrapped some yellow ribbon

around the centre of the card.

I then cut some circles in green, yellow and white

and stamped my sentiment before chopping the circles.

I stamped some more leaves and cut

them out to add to the side.

I stuck to my layers and finished with a

bow in the same ribbon.
