Leaf & Branch




Love some of the dies that you can use through a diecut machine !!  The main image on this simple card is one of my favourites and is quite intricate.  It's by Marianne Designs and was diecut from lichen green textured card through the Sizzix Big Shot.






A strip of coloured striped paper (reminds me of the Paul Smith signature stripe) actually from a 6 x 6 inch paper pack from Websters Pages was cut, edged with green alcohol ink and stuck in place at the near bottom of a 12 x12 cm plain white card.





The die-cut tree was then stuck in place with Quickie glue pen.  The printed sentiment was edged with the same alcohol ink pen and mounted as shown on foam pads. I am also entering this card into The Craftroom Challenge for this month which is Trees and/or leaves.

No stamping on this one for a change !
