colorful tree...


and


One of these days I am going to go absolutely crazy and use every color on one of these challenges...not today!
I chose gold rush, smoothie and peach as they were the colors in the patterned paper I had from “love nicole autumn splendor”.
The base card is white card stock.
To get the main piece I die cut the patterned paper, gold card stock and dark pink card stock with Taylored Expressions “Shade Tree Cutting Plate”.
In order to get that “inlaid” effect I cut a piece of double back film and applied the frame with tree piece.
Next, like a jig saw puzzle, I applied the dark pink and gold pieces.
This I applied to the dark pink piece before applying it to the base card.
To finish I die cut the “hello” from “love nicole” using the gold card stock and glued it to the card front.

  9. Love all the dies you've used for the card. Very nice Autumn card (Fall in the US, Australia calls it Autumn).
