lots of paper scraps in use here, which always makes me happy. the tree is composed of an paper-old piecing pattern-- which i've used before-- for the trunk, and two different sized cloud punches to be the foliage. i really like how this looks, so i'm sure you'll be seeing it again! another new twist is using my favorite cheery lynn designs doily die as the sunshine... i cannot believe that never occurred to me before now!
want to see more cool tree-centric paper projects? look no further than the lovely ladies at SOS who have all outdone themselves again this week! ♥
Oh..my..goodness! I adore everything about this card!!! Fabulous colour combo and such fun and creative design elements. I love the texty/cloudy tree and your fabulous doily sun. the crossword paper makes me think of hopscotch and the stitching is perfection. Did I say I LOVE everything about this?!?!?

Super design! I have that same blue paper but never thought of using it for a sky. Clever girl!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is gorgeous!!! Love the rustic feel to it :)
ReplyDeleteCloud leaves? Doily sun? GENIUS! And those layers papers are amazing - I don't know how you do it, but KEEP DOING IT!
ReplyDeleteWow all that stuff on there is awesome, your card is fabulous. love the idea of a doily sun.
ReplyDeleteYou are a whiz at collage art! This pretty scene is fabulous!! You have such a knack for mixing different patterns, and using cloud and doily dies as leaves and the sun is just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have created a wonderful scene! I really like how your mind works and it is interesting to see your unique take on each week's challenge. This is so perfectly composed and each element has it's own voice. Nicely crafted, indeed. This could be a quilt piece.
ReplyDeleteOnce again you get a great big WOW! Love the way you used punches of clouds for the foliage on the tree! Stunning card and a beautiful scene!

This is jaw-thuddingly awesome!!! I love everything about it. Sometimes, when I'm paper piecing I try to channel my inner Lauren and magically I know just which patterns to pair.
ReplyDeleteTurning your cloud punches into a tree ... brilliant ... and I love the numbered paper at the bottom right ... gorgeous card.
