Single Tree

>> Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Hi Everyone,

The Single Fall Tree makes an appearance on my cards today.  It's an easy to use stamp for fall and winter, perfect for the cardmaking seasons ahead.  

I began by water coloring a spot on my paper in fall colored inks, and once dry, I stamped the tree on top, adding some glitter glue to the branches.  For a bit of texture once it was dry, I roughed up the edges of the cardstock and added some brown lace.  


I used the Goodbye Summer Hello Fall Greeting, which I stamped, die cut and attached to the image panel.  And, for embellishment I used the leaf image from the 4 in 1 Harvest Designs stamp, which was layered using circle punches, and roughed up as well.


Since I had my tree stamp out, I chose to use it on a quick sympathy card.  It's a must have card for ones stash.  I dry embossed first, and stamped the tree a few times without reinking, to create that effect.

I added the Our Thoughts With You greeting and a piece of green paper to the corner to balance out the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
Karin

Karin, some great cards. The Fall card is cool with great embellishments on the tree and a super sketch. The sympathy card is so pretty with your embossing and the ghost stamping of the tree. Awesome sympathy card. Thanks for sharing! Hugz

I love the way you used the tree! The first one adding the yellow leaves and the second one fading the tree out! Lovely layouts too! I love the pretty trim you used at the top on your first card, so pretty!!!

These are great cards, Karin! I really like the way you used this tree image! The watercolor background on the first one really makes the tree stand out! The fading tree on the second is awesome!

2 wonderful cards Karin! Excellent job with the watercolor and then mimicking the colors in the greeting! You also made a beautiful sympathy card - the fading tree image is perfect!
