Sheltering Tree Class

Sheltering Tree is a very popular Stamp Set and it has some great sentiments.
It has been good to get it out again to prepare for a Class.

I used the smooshing technique to make the second card which was inspired by Darla Watson.
This could be also used for a man's birthday card or a sympathy card.

 

Thanks got to Amanda Bates from the Craft Spa for the tutorial for the next card.
I used the blossoms stamp from the set to stamp the background.

Sadly the Baker's Box Die has been retired but some of my ladies have it and I love it so I got it out again!

Sheltering Tree

Sheltering Tree is another Stamp Set that was not one of my first choices  out of the Spring/Summer Catalogue.However once again some of my ladies recognised its potential and ordered it so I decided to get one myself and plan a Class.
 I cased the above Seasons cards from Dawn Griffith. In addition I have added White Embossing Powder to the Winter Card and Blushing Bride Embossing Powder to the Spring one.

These two cards are ones that I will be giving to some of my customers as a thank you for their orders.The one on the left has the Blushing Bride Embossing Powder and the one on the right does not. Which one do you like best?

Variation on a theme in this card. The Early Expresso mat for the embossed image compliments the tree trunk.
The sentiment for all of the cards comes from the Peaceful Petals Stamp Set which is still available as a Wood Mount Set on the Clearance Rack for £15.59 reduced from £25.95.
