Winter Trees

I decided on a rustic natural looking card this week for my DT creation for 100 Proof Press using the SPRUCE stamp.
I stamped the trees with black archival and blended a little brushed corduroy and vintage photo ink around the edges.
I added the wording TREE and WINTER using alpha parts, I love the dimension and texture they add.  I also added tree using a chitchat sticker.
To add to the rustic feel of this card I added three leaves cut using the Tattered Leaves die, colouring with brushed corduroy and vintage photo inks and adding text to each leaf for added interest. I also added natural twine and button.
I also added a SPRUCE to the inside of my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

    Christmas without glitz - what a lovely nice change from all the glitter! It's only the 2nd & I feel "glittered" out :-)

    Completely gorgeous, Tracy! That tree stamp is absolutely lovely, and you've made it look sensational here! I love the texty leaves (of course) and yummy Alphaparts, and the twine bows and button finish it perfectly. This one really sings to me!

    Simply gorgeous.
    The stamping takes centre stage but you always add just the most perfect touches to your cards.
