Lone Tree quick and easy card created for Chocolate Baroque

 

Good morning – I love stamping directly onto pretty background papers to produce quick and easy cards – great if you need to put something together in a hurry.

I stamped the tree from the Spinney Design-A-Tree stamp set and heat embossed with sparkly powder onto one of the pretty background papers from Crafty Individuals (Book 5 – Travels in Italy). I then added a ribbon and bow and PVA pearls – all done in a jiffy.

Materials:

• Design-A-Tree Spinney stamp set
• 6 X 6 inch white card blank (approx. 15cm)
• 6 X 6 inch backing paper from Crafty Individuals (Book 5 – Travels in Italy)
• Versamark Inkpad
• Alcohol marker (dark brown)
• WOW embossing powder (Halloween)
• Fine pink ribbon and PVA pearls (brown/dark gold)

How to make it:

1. Trim the paper down slightly (approx. 14.5cm square) and stamp the tree using Versamark. Heat emboss with the sparkly powder.
2. Use the marker to outline and frame the edges.
3. Add the ribbon and bow (use tape to fix to the back of the paper) and glue to the card front.
4. Finish with PVA pearls.
