Hi Blogging Buddies...
Well I was so impressed and LOVED the gorgeous card that my lovely blogging pal Kat made for In The Pink last week, that I just had to give it a go! Kat's was in pink.. (for our challenge) - so I tried to make something a little bit different... however, it was hard as really there's only one way to make a rolled paper tree!
It was so very easy to make though.... I used a wooden skewer to roll my paper around before glue-ing- and I used some bits of paper left from LOTV pads, combined with other scraps that were lying in my bit box in similar tones. I just cut each roll a tiny bit shorter than the last... stuck them all together on a strip down the back... added a bit of corrugated card for the base, a bow, then stuck the whole thing onto my kraft card square (cut with my Li'l Inkers Stitched Square die (are you getting fed up of seeing that die yet?? hehe). I added a star - and it was done. Not a bit of colouring in sight - just fingers covered in glue!
The letters are from a very, very old Hero Arts set.... but they do come in handy every now and again...
Hope you like this card... and that you'll maybe pop over to Kat's blog HERE to see her original, and PINK creation!!
Big hugs and Happy Crafting..
So pretty Christine! Love the rustic vibe! The shimmery star on top is like the icing on the cupcake ;) Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWell you cracked that one wide open buddy! This is fabulous! I love it. xxx
ReplyDeleteI loved Kat's card too and want to give it a go. Yours is just as beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Christine and not at all what I expected when I popped over. It's not pink... and it's different than what you usually do but I love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteI checked out Kat's too and the two of you have done brilliant creations. Love the colours here too and the perfectly placed sentiments.
Fabulous Christine, love that tree!
