I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s day! I had a good day stamping and making banana muffins. My vacation is almost over and I must admit I am not really ready to go back to work. LOL!
My project today was made using a Rubbernecker sentiment and Memory Box tree die. Santa brought me this die for Christmas and I had a good time filling it with spring flowers and little blue birds. 
I cut two trees and attached the first one flat to the card base and then distressed the second one to give dimension and attached directly over the first using glue dots and mounting tape.
Here’s a closer view.
Have a great week and be sure to take time to get your fingers inky.

My chin is on my knees…This absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Don’t know how you have the patience to do such intricate work. They are all such masterpieces!!
Oh, how fantastic this one looks. Will have to look for this die. Love those little tiny flowers! Have a Happy New Year!
Oh wow! That die is awesome! Love what you’ve done with it too.
Your card looks like Spring … oh we can only dream! I don’t know where you find the patience to pop up that tree. I’m not afraid of dimensional tape but I have my limitations! Those delicate pink flowers are just what the tree needed too.
your cards are so beautiful, plus I love the ideas you give for using, I have this die and the window one and now have some inspiration to use! LOVE your blog
What a nice way to welcome the new year in with a Spring tree….very pretty, Kittie.
I remember the feeling of not being ready to go back to work after the holidays, so I appreciate being retired even more now.
Thank you for sharing your tree.
that is so cool, love the idea of using two for dimension, great look, and love your idea to use the branch die at the bottom, great inspiration!
I love all your cards – and this one is especially gorgeous!

Loving this little card. Thanks for an idea to finish a card I have been wanting to do for months but it was not doing it for me. I hope to get it done this week now thanks to you. Hope you don’t mind if I borrow some of your idea.

Yep this post convinces me I need that die. Gorgeous card
I want that die – where can I find it? I have to agree with Sandy – you have the patience of a saint to do such intricate work. TFS

I stumbled upon your website completely by accident when doing some research on the grand caliber versus the big shot. Your work is truly stunning and I was so inspired that I purchased more craft tools to step up my own game (lol!). Please keep crafting even after you go back to work as your cards put a smile on my face everytime 🙂
I keep telling myself that I don’t need any more dies. Then I see your beautiful designs and I’m tempted again! I’m loving your flowers!
Love this card. Just ordered this die oh and a few others lol. Pinned this on my pinterst board and it seems to attracted a few likes and reprints. Thanks for always sharing your beautiful work. I don’t comment much but look
