Hello Friend Tree

As soon as I saw the current prompt at the CAS Watercolor Challenge I knew I just had to play along. It's trees!!!! If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I love trees!




Stamps: Hero Arts (tree)
Other: Simon Says Stamp (stencil), Schmincke watercolors, Washi tape

I knew exactly which tree I wanted to use. I received this wonderful stamp a while ago from a dear friend (crafty friends are the best!) and finally made time to play with it. I created an evening sky and a hill for it with watercolors, added a strip of Washi tape (yes, again, I must be on a roll... soon I will run out of it, hehe), and some stenciled hearts using embossing paste.
I have to admit that I am absolutely in love with this card! Probably will have a hard time parting with it. Good thing that I made two... Might make more, I had so much fun!

Be well and keep in touch!

This turned out beautifully, Susanne! LOVE that sky you've created - it's perfect for that tree! Love how your washi tape mimics the tree with it's see-through quality. Those little hearts add just the right amount of extra love to this too. I can see exactly why you love this so much. Really a fun card!! Bev

This is so fabulous. Susanne! I love your watercolor wash in the background. It's so soft, pretty, and perfect for your lovely tree. The wash tape and the little embossing paste hearts add so much interest and texture! Great design too.

I can see why you'd have a hard time parting with this card, Susanne ... it's so charming! Gorgeous evening sky with the sun going down in the background ... love how the washi mimics the trunk of the tree ... and those sweet little hearts add so much to those lovely word leaves! A delight! Hugs, Anita :)
