Caardvarks is being sponsored

by Hero Arts. The challenge to to create a CASE card. So basically that means clean and simple.  You will be amazed what the crew did this week with these fun stamps. Check it out here.

To design  a taller tree I stamped the tree three times and layered them. I cut one of the large ornaments to make the pot that the tree is in.

I used distress ink to color the tree & stamped the snowflakes for the background.

For this card I wanted to tone down the usual Christmasy colors and give it  a softer look.

The leaves in this set can be used all year. I stamped the background and colored the images with light colored markers so if you mess up you can really tell. I love to add dot’s on leaves.

I used two shades of blue to highlight the leaves.

I had some much fun making the cards and thanks so much for stopping by. Blogger was giving me some trouble today so that’s why things are a little off center. I hope your week will be a good one.
Hugs, Kathy

    Hi Kathy,

    The ‘make the tree taller’ idea is great! I am planning to buy the CL461 Wishes Come True soon. You just make my purchase worthwhile because it can be multiple uses!

    THANK YOU!
