Totally Trees Step It Up Saturday
I knew I wanted to share this step-it-up set of cards on World Card-Making Day.
The first card was a simple but lovely card created for the Fabulous Fall Stamp Camp. We used the Totally Trees stamp set and the Rose Wonder stamp set for the phrase. Also used for this card was the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper (sorry, not one on sale), Layering Squares Framelits, and the Ribbon Trio Pack. We did double dip the inking of leaves on this card – start with the lightest color and before stamping lightly restamp into a darker color.
But even though I liked this card, I knew it was a perfect card to step up.
I added another vertical layer behind the DSP, tied a knot with ribbon, added three copper circles, and embossed both the phrase and the leaves on the tree. Some very simple changes, but they really make this card pop.
