Hello there!

Today I’m using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black to play along in this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a beautiful combo – teal, purple and green.

I really wanted to use the new Double Frames die set (51-825) last week when I was playing with the little chubby tree, so I knew that I would be using them for today’s card. I cut the inner  die cut from vellum and the outer frame from white card which I covered with a VERY light layer of Villainous Potion distress ink. I lightly blended Broken China distress ink on the centre of my card base and stamped the branch from the Fragile set (31-087) a few times (third generation stamping to get that light tone-on-tone effect). I layered on the frames using foam tape.

Next up, my focal point… today it’s the turn of the tree from the Berry Basket set (51-796) which I got last year but which was seriously neglected…. it’s such a fun, delicate design and worthy of as much attention as the little chubby tree really! Anyway, I cut it from green and white glitter card and also green mirror card and then layered the images together, adhering them along the stem only. After sticking it to my card base, I added a few mini pom-poms. Once they were firmly adhered, I fluffed up each of the stems and leaves… this card has a LOT of depth!

To complete my card, I used a sentiment from the Nature’s Rubies mini stamp set (31-937).

Thanks for stopping by!
