GARDEN OF LOVE

Happy New Year!!!
Hello everyone, it's Martha Lucia here today and it's so good to share a card I've made using the Tree Bare, one of my favorite cut out embellishments! When I saw this cut out in the Unique Laser Design Store, I just knew I had to get my hands on it.

I started by creating my card in a 6"x6" size over textured white card stock (close). Then I created all the pieces to decorate my card in my Cricut Explore using the Design Space. With this program I cut the grass, the fence, the clouds and the small hearts.

After this small process, I started to work with my Tree Bare. This product is available in wood, chipboard and cork. I chose mine in chipboard to use with distress inks and markers to give texture and color. I used the Tim Holtz Distress Ink colors Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to get the wood color and for the end of the branches I used  PITT artist pen big brush from Faber Castell in colors Light Green and Earth Green.

Then I took all my paper pieces and began the big process, but don't be scared. It was very easy! I just cut a square of bashful blue cardstock and pasted it over the base of my card. Also I cut a frame in textured cardstock (red) and pasted it over the entire base and using dimensionals and glue dots I stuck each of the parts beginning by the clouds, tree bare and last one the fence.

After this part, I pasted the fences and using Tombo Multi Liquid Glue I started to paste the hears over the branches.

To finalize the project, I cut and embossed a little butterflies with the embosslits Beautiful butterflies from Stampin Up and pasted these with dimensionals.

Materials:
Tree Bare - UNIQUE LASER DESIGN, Cricut Explore, Cardstock, Adhesives, Big Shot, Embosslits Beautiful Butterflies.

I really liked the simplicity and colors of this project and how the tree bare gave the real touch to my garden of love. I hope you liked too. Happy crafting!

Spring Card

Hello Friends!

It's Katy here and today I am sharing a spring card I made.  Spring is such a pretty time of year!  So I used the bare tree as a focus point on this card.  For the little buds I used Flower Soft Sweet Pea.  Using gel medium, I adhered the Flower Soft to the tree.

Here is a close up of the tree.  I put a little walnut distress ink on the trunk to darken the edges a little.  I like that you can see the grain and giving the tree a little extra "oomph."  :)

And if you like challenges?  There is one going on right now here at Unique Laser Designs.  Check it out here!
