Tree/Leaves midmonth WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping 
the theme this month being "Anything stamped, option, Trees/Leaves"


 I saw a tree card a while ago and saved it, as I thought it gorgeous, and would give me practice at shading. 

I started off choosing what colours to use for the circles, after viewing a few mixes of DO's on the web, I decided on this Autumnal scheme. A circle was die cut out of card, and I used it to blend the colours onto the card. 

Next, I stamped the trees and the sentiment in gold ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  

Then I added the stamped layer to a piece of gold card and layered them onto the main card. 
 
Quite simple, but I'm pretty happy with myself at shading the colours. The trees stand out more in real life.

sentiment - John Next Door

A fabulous prize for the Winner, it's from

The theme of your entry can be any of your choosing and we would love to see "Anything stamped, option, Trees/Leaves", but most important is that the focal element is hand stamped as our preference (or digital). A small added sentiment or other element to an otherwise non stamped card will be ineligible and may be deleted.

  4. This is gorgeous! Those colorful circles look beautiful with those golden trees and sentiment. Gold embossing always adds an elegant touch to any card in my opinion and this is a great example of elegance.

  23. This has the wow factor. I always think simple is usually more impactful, that said sometimes what looks simple is more complex than at first sight - and this is one of those. CarolG
