Turquoise Trees

One card, two challenges: this card is inspired by this week's sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch combined with the colour challenge over at Less is More. Other than turning the sketch upside down, I stuck to it pretty literally. I must apologise for the photographs because it's so wet & miserable here today it was impossible to get a good photo.


The tree stamp is one from the  Penny Black set free with a magazine, repeat stamped in Versamagic Turquoise Gem & Aquatic Splash. I then used a Spellbinders die to emboss, but not cut, the frame and stamped the greeting (by Paula Pascual) in Versamagic again.

Although you can't see it, I added some Wink of Stella to some of the bigger "leaves" then mounted the image on a Bazzill cardstock card. Although I'm not unhappy with the finished card I think it's lacking the "wow" factor so this will probably have some bling added before I send it off.
