Clean and Simple

The color palette for CAS Colour and Sketches #496 said nature to me. I of course went to the Ringed with Nature Stamp Set. I tried coloring the twigs from the Tree Rings die set multiple ways. which again had me wishing there were blends for ALL the colors. 

In the end, I used blending brushes to color white card with Early Espresso ink. This actually worked out well because it created a tone different from the dark cardstock. I cut the twigs out of Old Olive card and pieced them to the Early Espresso Twigs.

I stamped the other elements and fussy cut the leaves and berries.

I used second generation Early Espresso for the center of the tree cookie. I used the embossing folder and dies to cut this out.

I attached the element to a piece of white card then layered that onto Soft Succulent cardstock. The card base was thick basic white.

The sentiment was stamped using Early Espresso and attached with dimensionals.

I added gold Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish the card.
