A Simple Tree

When I saw that the theme of the Less is More Challenge was Trees I decided to make a card using my favourite Marianne Christmas Tree die.


I have used some more of the paper that I made from my Carta Bella Winter Fun paper pack using my favourite technique from the Pattern Play Online Card Class.

The white panel has been embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder using an embossing diffuser to create a smooth oval on which to place my tree.  My sentiment is a Kirsty Wiseman stamp on a hand cut banner.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Aud Sentiments Challenge 92 - Christmas Sentiments

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who takes the time to visit my blog and leave a comment, your company is most welcome.

Hi Pauline,

This is lovely. Less certainly is more in this case, love the use of traditional colours too.

Never heard of embossing diffuser but good idea.
