Love Lives Here: Trees

I've been having lots of fun using my stamps and dies from the Love Lives Here: Holiday set. I made two cards using the tree images using a non-traditional colour scheme of green, aqua and chocolate!!

The first one uses the three part die and matching stamp set to create a single tree for the focal point. The green oval was embossed with a polka dot folder and then stickles were added to each dot. The oval was matted with an aqua oval and the added to the white card base. Polka Dot Basics was used on the card front with SU Pool Party ink; the outer edges were sponged with Vintage Tea Dye Duo.

The sentiment, from Love Lives Here: Holiday was stamped with Sweet Leaf ink onto an Angled Die that was stamped with the border from Label Basics.

The inside of the card was stamped with the sentiment, pine boughs and stars from Love Lives Here: Holiday.

The second card uses three different papers from PTI's Green Boutique paper pack and the three part die to create a trio of  trees. The little jeweled stars were added to the top of each.
The white background panel was stamped with Pool Party ink using the Woodgrain stamp set and then added to an Aqua Mist card base. A brown marker was used to outline the white panel and create some contrast between the focal panel and the card base. The sentiment, from Holiday Lights, was stamped in Chocolate ink.

The inside sentiment (from Holiday Lights) was stamped with chocolate ink and then accented with a yellow die cut star.
