I've always liked images with trees or paths in them. The other day I took a stamp set that I've had for quite a while and have just never used, The Sheltering Tree. I made this card using mint macaron color for the leaves. I just love how it came out. I ended up making several of these cards, but quickly gave them away before taking a photo of them. You can't see from the photo, but the green leaves have some Wink of Stella on them to give them a glitterly sheen.
I got the idea from the a card that I've seen on Pinterest by Lisa Pretto. I changed the colors to reflect more of a spring-time look. It's like a tree that is still bare from winter but hoping for the green leaves of spring to come quickly!
Next I made this thank you card using the same color, mint macaron. It's definitely one of my favorite colors. This card has more of an elegant look to it. I like the stitched shapes framelits used on this card for the square cut-outs. The edges of the squares look like they have stitching on them. They don't really, it's just how they come out of the Big Shot. It reminds me of sewing. :)
The image is from the Avant Garden set that was featured in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I also like the cut out leaves as accent pieces. I found the idea on the Chase and Main page.
Here are the two cards. Which one do you like best?
