Good Saturday morning. I have another spring project to share with you today with a flowering tree and a couple sweet bunnies. I made a card a few weeks ago made with the Small Alder Tree covered with Heather Flower Soft. This time I used the Grand Alder Tree layered with two small trees to create dimension and covered with the flower soft. I love how the tree turned out.
I started by cutting the tree using white cardstock and colored them with a brown and green Copic marker. I applied tiny thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the small trees and attached them together and then to the larger tree. I applied Crafter’s Pick glue around the leaves and limbs and sprinkled on the flower soft. I attached the tree to the card base with glossy accents.
I cut two tall grass sections, cut the off from the bottom to make them shorter and attached them to the grass layer with ATG adhesive. I punched out several 1/8” circles, formed them with my tiny tipped stylus and molding and attached to the tips of the grass. You can’t tell in the pictures but the grass was cut a little larger than the base and attached on both sides with glue dots and allowing the grass to bow out a little away from the card base.
I finished by adding a few butterflies, a couple of bunnies and some flower soft in the grass right under the tree area for the final touch. I love making seasonal scenes and spring sure gives me lots of inspiration to work with.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Good Morning Kittie! So happy to see this sweet card in my inbox. Pretty soon our crepe myrtles will be blooming and spreading their beauty all over the state. Your tree reminds me of them, so beautiful. That die is fabulous, so many possibilities, I’m seeing a dogwood, a cherry tree, a red bud, my imagination is going crazy . . . LOL! Have a great weekend!
Layering the trees is such a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!! I love learning from you!
Lovely. That flower soft really looks so pretty in the tree and grass along with the bunnies and your teeny tiny flowers. Loving the spring theme a lot.
Beautiful flowering tree, such a cute spring scene!
You always create the most beautiful scenes. This card is fabulous. I love how you layered the trees to make it so realistic. The coloring on the bunnies makes them look so real.
Wonderful! I love your composition and layers. This is a card that should be framed and displayed.
What a beautiful card Kittie! The flower soft really brings the scene to life!
So pretty!!!
Good Afternoon, Kittie, The sun is shinning and going to be a warm day. Your beautiful Spring scene fits right in to the day. I love how you gave dimension to your tree, the small on the large worked perfect. What a beautiful accent of flower soft. The extra tall grass catches you eye with the bunnies. An it looks like it is away from the card. I really think this is beautiful, a keeper for sure……have a good week-end.
I love all of your cards. They are so beautiful. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but the dots on top of the tall stems just don’t look right! Maybe some cut sprigs of tall grass would look better. Just saying! Love the flower soft! Happy Saturday!
So cute and looks like spring. You come up with the cutest ideas. Thanks. Edna
This card reminds me of a wonderful Disney movie. I LOVE when they start a film with a still and it begins with that turning into film. TFS your LOVE of spring with us.
