From Little Acorns Mighty Oak Trees Grow!

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to Stamps!  Thank you all for your fantastic clean and simple projects for last week's challenge, especially to those of you who run a mile from CAS normally!  This week sees the last instalment in our first run through of challenges and it is a sketch.

Here is my card, using two stamps from the gorgeous Lovely As A Tree set:


The leaves are stamped in Always Artichoke, with Old Olive ink added with my blender pen.  The magnificent oak tree was coloured in marker pens before stamping and then blending in an extra bit of ink.  The stamped images were mounted on Crumb Cake and Always Artichoke, with some linen thread tied around the middle.

Supplies
Stamps: Lovely As A Tree
Ink: Always Artichoke; marker pens in Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake
Card: Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, textured Very Vanilla
Other: linen thread, blender pen


Here is the sketch:

So what does the sketch say to you?  Pop over to the ATS blog and check out the DT's fabulous creations and then share with us what you come up with!  Looking forward to seeing what you make!  Thanks for visiting,

PS I almost forgot a cat picture - shocking lack of concentration on my part!  In honour of our multi-hemisphered Design Team, I give you 'northern hemisphere kitty':

  3. This is a stunning card & I love the idea of the tree itself along with the leaves below. Great card. And I had to laugh at the cat photo. My Brady used to lay in the sink until he outgrew it! Hard to get a 20 lb cat into a small sink! lol
