My project today was made using the Leafy Tree One, Branches of a Tree, Beach Chairs, Small Grass Border, Leaves and Stems and Tiny Flowers.
I love making black, white and red projects. I thought this tree would be so pretty stamped in black on a white background and paired with a silhouette scene made using the beach chair, grass and flowers. This was a fast and easy project and I love the outcome.
I stamped the tree and sentiment with black versafine. I attached the tree scene to a black layer and popped it up on the card base with mounting tape.
I attached the grass to the bottom of the scene with thin strips of mounting tape and tucked the flowers and stems in behind the grass with glossy accents. I thought adding a few red flowers in the tree branches would carry the eye up from the heavy black scene.
Today's hop list!
