My card is very similar to one that was featured on the cover of the March, 2011 issue of CardMaker magazine and created by Christine Okken. The instant I saw that mag cover, I knew I would make that card.
The card base is Stampin' Up! Pretty in Pink with Early Espresso, Garden Green cardstock and watercolor paper. The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus.
The tree is colored with Copics and the background sponged with Pretty in Pink and then covered with Sweet Pea Flower Soft.
The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts. The ribbon is from my stash.
The jotting panel is Pretty in Pink and Early Espresso die cut with Nesties.
I had a grand time making this card. It was so much fun that I actually made two of them!!
Grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair and let's visit for a spell!
Glad you could stop by.
Now please stop by my teammies' blogs and see their creations using trees!

Good morning Kathy! What a lovely tree, I love this Flower Soft you have used, gives a beautiful texture. Not only a tree is a very strong symbol of life, your choice of colors bring softness, and happiness. I love this gorgeous lace, and the inside of the card is just awesome.
Have a gorgeous day.
