Rooted in Nature

Hello and welcome to my blog. My card today was created using challenge over at The Paper Players as my starting point. This week the challenge is to follow the fabulous sketch created by Ann Marie.

The Rooted in Nature stamp set has some wonderful words alongside the various tree images - and I particularly wanted to use the Be Strong, Be Happy, Be You. They appear in the stamp set in a block, but they are very easy to trim out separately after you have stamped them so that you can position them where you want them to be.

The other elements of the card almost picked themselves - the Early Espresso layer was ready, waiting to be used. Pink and brown work harmoniously so when I went to the folder with the Rococo Rose card in it and the die cut strip from the Wild Rose dies was already there, the colour choices were picked and the diagonal element too. I love it when pieces that were surplus to requirements for one project become the ideal elements for another!

I used the Pinewood Planks embossing folder to add texture to the Vanilla layer and to tie the elements together. The ready made elements and the fabulous sketch made this a very quick card to make. I'm sure I will use this sketch again!

If you want to purchase the items used for this card, or any other supplies, please take a look in my online Stampin' Up! shop. You can follow the link or click on the pictures below of the products I have used today.
