Amber Trees

You don't have to buy all of the bells and whistles to create a beautiful card. I simply used stamps, markers, and a couple of embellishments. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Autumn Trees

   Amber Autumn

Paper:

   Crushed Curry A-2

   Early Espresso 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Pecan Pie 1-1/2" Sq. 

Markers:

   Cajun Craze

   Crushed Curry

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   Coloring on Stamp

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-1/4" Square Punch

   Streaked Dots

   Irregular Weave Trim

   Glue Dots

   Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I used the markers listed above to color the Autumn Trees stamp. I used Early Espresso on the trunk and limbs of the tree, while Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze were randomly used on the foliage. 

I then huffed on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamped it onto the Basic White panel. Since, I was going to be adding an image on the lower right corner, I moved the stamp as far to the left as possible. 

Next, I used the Cajun Craze marker to color the acorns on the stamp from the Amber Autumn stamp set. I stamped a 1-1/2" square of Pecan Pie with the acorns image.

I then used the 1-1/4" square punch to punch out a square on the lower right corner of the stamped Basic White panel. 

Next, I aligned the acorns image in the square and added a bit of tear & tape to the back of the panel to keep it in place.

I then adhered the panel onto an Early Espresso matte and then onto a Crushed Curry card front.

Next, I added a couple of glue dots: one where the Pecan Pie square meets the Basic White panel at the foot of the tree and the other on the bottom left corner of the Basic White panel. 

I then added the Irregular Weave trim under the tree, using the glue dots to hold it in place.

Next, I added three Streaked Dots: one on top of each of the glue dots plus another at the base of the tree. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
