Good morning to you ...
And Happy Birthday to my brother Rick!
Today is City Crafter Challenge day ... and this week we have Charlene hosting for us with a super challenge ...
Char is asking that we Use the colours from the inspirations photo
... And ... Include a Tree
I actually didn't have any stamps or dies for a tree ... well, I did have a teeny tiny stamp ... but my brain would not come up with an idea to accommodate the stamp ... Then I started to play about with bits on my desk and an idea formed ...
A cloud tree!
I had a few sheets of paper that reflected those lovely autumnal colours so I just cut some cloud shapes with a PTI die and some leaves with a punch
The cloud shapes are layered up with little foam squares for dimension ... I cut
a trunk cut from a scrap of brown CS and the leaves are randomly stuck down ... You can see a paper border there too and a computer generated sentiment
I gotta say this was probably the quickest card I ever made!
Please take a moment to visit the Blog to see the rest of the projects ... We really hope you will join us this week too ...
Have a beautiful day
