Lovely as a Tree - FabFri25
I stamped everything in Chocolate Chip and then colored in the oak and the acorn with the Aquapainter TM. I also want to point out that I use and prefer the Brayer (102395) on the background stamps. It really makes a difference for even coverage.
CHALLENGE: Fab Friday (FabFri25) for the layout.
SUPPLY LIST: (for above)
- Stamp Sets: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Dictionary
- Colors: Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky
I did not at first recognize that this was inspired by the Fab Friday challenge! I like how you rotated the design. Sometimes the simplest changes have the biggest impact. I will have to get get my Lovely as a Tree set out and use it again. It has been a long time. This is a nice simple card.

hahaha, and here I am hoping every year it will go away so we can justify getting something else, LOL! My mom bought it before she even told me about Stampin' Up! and I've been a demo for 9 years! :) But it super versatile and I've used it for every season, lots of cards and plenty of scrapbook pages, so I can't complain too loudly. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd your card is lovely!! :)
I am so with you on holding out on this set for fear it will retire. I have thus far resisted and purchased look alike stamps as they come along, but nothing beats the original! Beautiful watercoloring!
ReplyDeleteGreat masculine card. I love the Lovely As A Tree set - I can't believe you held out this long!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the dictionary background, and you've colored the tree so beautifully. I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have this stamp set -- like you, I just know it will get retired as soon as I get it. :) Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday this week!
ReplyDeleteI really like the blue background stamped with the Dictionary stamp. It really has a way of making your main image pop. Great coloring on the tree. LAAT is one of my favorites- long may it remain in the SU catalog! Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I held off on buying LAAT forever thinking the same as you that it would retire! That was 3 years ago! There might be a giant uproar in the SU world if they ever do retire it since it is such a staple in many peoples collection! You used it wonderfully here and it looks great paired up with the dictionary stamp! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteI have been contemplating Lovely as a Tree as well! I am in love with the Dictionary stamp... not sure why I have been waiting to get it! lol You did a great job with the sketch! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Fab Friday!
