Leafy Tree

Hello, and welcome!

My turn, again, to get to play with another great image from SNB, and this week it was a really fun one.....got me feelin' all Autumny.....is that a word?....ha!

I chose to play with Leafy Tree which you can find in the store....just click on the name....easy-peasy!

Here's the nudey version, as it were....ha!.......

And here's the dressed-up version..........

Papers are from Hot off the Press.........did a little faux stitchin' round the base layer......and real stitchin' round the sentiment background......

Love the ickle birdy in his cosy nest....and the teeny heart....aawwww........everything coloured up with Promarkers.........

Used a sentiment stamp from a set and just cut into the corners to make a banner.....tagged with thin ricrac and a teeny brad......can ya guess what that is behind the sentiment?...........will tell ya at the end.....ha!

The cute flutterby is from a K&Co sticker sheet......yonks old!.....and changed the colours to match with PMs..........and the web behind the sentiment?.................................
.......................................................
..........................................................
Carpet Grip!!!!!
Found a big roll in the garage.....never been opened......just knew I could find a use for it.....ha!......and it's self-adhesive to boot........and .....it colours up with Promarkers.....yaaaaay!
Hubby will never miss it......lol!

  4. Hiya whay a lovely card great image and yes a sweety tweety lol how great to find a roll of carpet grip I'm sure you use every bit of it anither way to use it if you do any brayering cut a piece off and stick it to some paper then ink your brayer and roll it over it then tranfer it to your background you can also use plaster bond for this too so go hunting for some of that lol I found some in our shed but haven't got round to using it yet but it safely tucked in a craft box lol
    Take care
