I exchanged an 'semi-retired' set for this one, and after seeing a few cards stamped with this set, I wanted to come up with a few cards of my own..This was created using the cloud template that I used for the surf card, and then I sponged the grassy area using the template from the Trendy Trees card. The clouds were sponged with Baja Breeze and then I used Summer Sun and Pixie Pink to accent the sky.
The tree branch was stamped in Chocolate Chip, and then I used Summer Sun, Always Artichoke and Old Olive to stamp the dots (leaves). I thought that it would look summer-y. Don't you wish you had a tree like this in your backyard?
My backyard tree (a ficus) is nude right now. I had the tree trimmers butcher it so there are no leaves on it...but, it would be a great tree to have a swing on it.
This card is a tri fold card. I mounted the cardstock with the tree on one of the flaps, and the other flap was punched using the Wide Oval and glued down to create a pocket for the gift card.
The ribbon is attached under the tree card, and then wraps around to the back to tie in the front.
This would be a great Birthday card or Graduation card (without the birthday phrase) or Baby shower with the appropriate sentiment...don't ya think?
Have a great weekend! GET some stamping done!
