It is Lizzie Anne Designs anniversary so I thought I would celebrate by making a card with my favorite set. I bought this Lizzie Anne Designs In the Treetop set *just* for that sentiment. I just love it - the words can be given for so many reasons - any time you need an uplifting card. Don't get me wrong - I love the rest of it too! Lots of fun little stamps to make backgrounds or trees with.
For this card I embossed the three tree branches onto Papertrey Select White cardstock with a dark brown embossing powder that happens to smell like Coffee - maybe these are coffee trees lol?
I stamped a few leaves onto the trees. Next I tapped around the edges of the treetop shapes with VersaMagic Chalk ink in Tea Leaves, Key Lime and Hint of Pesto and stamped it out on vellum. I cut out the vellum, put it on pop dots and added leaves with glue dots. The leaves cover the white of the pop dots :)
The trees were mounted on a base of Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste patterned paper. The rust colored paper had a frame pattern to it that I used to "frame" my trees.
I snipped some grass with the green paper scrap leftover from the mat. For balance I added some May Arts velvet rickrack ribbon to the bottom left.
Satin leaves from May Arts Leaves and Vine ribbon were cut to add some green to the sentiment.
I also added brown Dewdrops from the Cowboy collection here and there.
I hope you like it! A recipe post is coming up soon - you will love it if you have lots of fresh ripe tomatoes.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Such an imagination. I can't take my eyes off this gorgeous card. I love how you used the vellum, and then cut out individual leaves--very clever.
