Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! I made this card last night while Jono was setting up this blog for me, I have had the Green Stack Chipboard set for a while now and have used some of the tags to do cards previously, but I have never been brave enough to use the shapes. I had always wanted to do something with this chipboard tree but could never think of anything. I had seen something similar yesterday on the Hero Arts pool on Flickr that sparked this creation.

I started by gluing buttons to the tree from my rather large collection of different sized buttons. Then while that dried, I got down to cutting and layering the different papers that were out of the Green Stack cardstock set. Next I put some brads on that highlighted the colours in the cardstock and placed a “with love” stamp that was from the Papermania sentiments set.

When everything was ready to put together I started matting the layers and placing everything on to the card, the finishing touch was to get one of my dark brown ink pad and lightly brush the edge of the card to complete the look.

Hope you guys like it!

Sam.
