Trees!

Morning All! Well it is finally hump day, meaning that I am getting closer AARGHHHH! to the dreaded Easter weekend at work........LOL, I work all weekend :(.

Okay so I have to post early today as I will be at work late tonight.

I started with white card stock, folded in half and on the front of the card I stamped 3 little trees from the Hero Arts, Mi Cassa stamp set, coloured the trunks in with a brown Copic and set aside. Then on 3 different patterned papers, I think were from the My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary Collection, I stamped the little trees once more and then cut each little leaf out of the 3 pieces of patterend paper, I then adhered each leaf to the trees with some foam dimensionals to give some height. Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Hero Arts, Essential Messages stamp set at the bottom of the card and some pearls for accents.

Just had to say a big WOW! to Jennifer McGuire, is this a BEAUTY or what????

Also a couple of links here if you have not seen them of Flickr group, something to wet the taste buds, HERE,HERE, also HERE.

Just had to add this as well from the Two Peas site check THIS out, how adorable.

Enjoy the card for today and also your day.

Have a great one!
