After last weeks horrendous glue dot torture, this simple sketch is a pleasant and welcome return to something a bit less taxing for the start of the weekend!
It's been more like blumming October here today than August - I even had to put my office light on at work this afternoon it was so dark and grey - so my first thought on seeing the sketch was to make a Christmas card as I was feeling a little chilly. I used the tiny trees set from Waltzingmouse Stamps to create a simple two shaded tree, and then added "snowflake" embossing powder for the decorative lights. The greeting is from the same set. I added three rows of twine and a little dp border. Very quick and simple so I may well make a set of these in different shades to add to my christmas card stock while I'm in the mood.
I wanted to get back into summer though, so decided to use the same set but without the snowy feel, so this is my second card. I stamped a couple of trees this time side-by-side onto kraft paper and used the friends always sentiment as it seemed to me that they trees were friends. I finished it with a strip of lime green card with some golden gems.
I think it ended up slightly autumnal so I may go and look out another set to see if I can't make an altogether more summery card to remind me that summer is still hiding behind the clouds somewhere...
Thanks for visiting - see you later.
