A Year In The Life Of A Tree



Hi everyone,

Today I want to share with you a
wonderful stamp from the 
Art-Cure, line of stamps.

I just love this tree stamp!!!
You can make the tree into what
you need for your project.


This is the front of the card.
Just a simple die cut tree from
Memory box inc. called Arboscello tree, layered on red and black card stock
over a white base.

For the base I used a 17 by 5
piece of card stock folded in half,
then in half again, to make an M shape.
This is so I have room to
place four trees.

I stamped out 4 trees and using spellbinders dies, cut them out and embellished them
with flower soft, Spectrum-Noir Markers,
and pearls to look like apples.



The tree started out plain. I added
some color in the background
for the sky, and then a little
 color in the tree. Then used the flower soft.



I did this with all four trees.
Coloring first, then adding the
embellishments.

 Placed them on the card, over a
piece of red card stock, layered
over the white.



I started out with winter.
You can see how beautiful this stamp is!

Then in the spring, when the tree
has all the blossoms, adding 
a little light green.


For summer, I added darker greens,
and the apples.
(yes those are apples LOL)



Then I used fall colors, orange
and yellow. Adding a little pile of leaves
on the ground.
( I know an apple tree doesn't
normally turn these colors, but  I
wanted to show how you can change
the colors to make the tree different)
It's all in fun :)

This is what the card looks like open.


 
All these trees from one stamp.

new stamps from the Art Cure Line.

A Daughters Gift



Hi everyone,

Today I want to show you the wonderful
gift may daughter Jennifer made
for me for Mothers Day.

This exploding Generation Memory Box
is just stunning! Jennifer has put her entire
life in this creation, and left places
to put more pictures as they come in the
future. What a wonderful way to have these pictures displayed. I can sit this on my table
where everyone can see. It is as beautiful
closed as it is opened.



My favorite color is purple.





I am so proud of her.




This was her first picture by a photographer,
she had just scratched her nose, and was not a happy camper, lol.




That's my baby.





Jennifer also made the beautiful stocking flowers on top of the box.
She is very talented!!!

I hope you enjoyed this lovely project.
