A Sheltering Tree

Tonight the girls on the MFT Team have a doubly fun VIP Hop for you. Some of us have samples of the newest Who's That Girl on the block titled "Top Shelf" and some of us (myself included) have a sample for you of Stephanie Fizer's latest set...."Sheltering Tree."

If you've hopped over here from Jessie's place, then you're right where you should be. If you've just tripped into the hop, you'll want to start at Kim's Blog so that you don't miss any of the previews!

I wanted to do a quick and scrappy card today, showing how easy it is to work with the sheltering tree to make a fun little card. It is rare that I make a 15 minute card, but this was so fun (and, ahem easy!) to do!!!

I stamped the circular tree top first in a very light green ink, then stamped the tree directly over it. Colored the wood with my brown Copics and added pink little petals for the leaves (I'm obsessed with pink trees although they're just terrible for my son's seasonal allergies!)

Stamped the owlies separate, colored them and trimmed them right out and perched them right into the tree with a dimensional booster. Lastly, I added some felted clouds, and a quick hand trimmed grassy border. Bang! 15 minutes tops!! Love that!!

Your next stop on the hop is the sweet and incredibly talented Julie!
