Spring Tree

It was craft night last night, and after our tea and home made rhubarb and orange cake we made tree cards decorated with buttons and bling.
I
I used an Indigo Blu stamp called Lollipop Tree which I stamped with Walnut Stain and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.  I did a bit of inking with Tumbled Glass and more Shabby Shutters, using some torn paper as a mask for the ground.  I created a mat to go under the topper, using more masking and Distress Ink, to extend the scene.  I decorated the tree with buttons, dew drops, pearls and gems and added a little bird cut with a Marianne die.

    The IB Lollipop Tress looks amazing Wendy, I've only ever seen it in dark colours and gilded, but it makes a fabulous summer image. And what clever use of buttons.

    Oh Wendy, how could you do this, put this gorgeous cake on your blog, where I can't have a piece. Cruel and unusual punishment indeed.

    Love the card, the buttons are so effective, Kate x
