Trendy Trees in Spring and Stamps for Sale!

Trendy Trees (#113258) is such a cute stamp set. I see that one of my trees is crooked, but then maybe it's planted on a hill, right? It's just such a springy set and I'm feeling springy as the temps reach 80 degrees and 90 on Sunday! For us that's a big deal here in the northern climes.

Spring came early this year and that was awesome, so it figures summer would. The trees leafed out early and I found myself intrigued by all the different shades of green. To that end I blended greens I don't usually mix.

I used the Big Shot Textured Plates #4 (#114531) to make the bark looking Mellow Moss portion of hte card. I mixed moss and Old Olive which seemed to work. I used an aquapainter to ground the image. The mat is Chocolate Chip cardstock. I used the Large Oval punch (#107305) and the Scallop Oval punch (#114889) to create the greeting.

Remember, I'm taking preorder for the new 2010-2011Stampin' Up! catalog! Make sure to get your order in soon. The cost for the catalog is $9.95. Club members get their catalogs for free as hostess benefits, as do dated workshops. Contact me to get your 200+ page catty soon!
