A late post to make it for the Embellish magazine Trees color trends challenge. The project must incorporate a tree within the project. I don’t have a stamp neither a die to use so I improvised the tree shape by cutting it free hand. The overall leaves is a fabric diecut scallop and the card background embossed with my Cuttlebug embossing folder. Fabrics are a nice alternative to paper if you happen to have small fabric stash from sewing projects. Now onto the card, again a very straightforward approach to the challenge.

You did a fantastic job cutting your own tree! Love that you used fabric for the “leaves”, and the faux stitching frames it all up so nicely.
