Hello friends! Did everyone in the states have a nice long holiday? We really had such beautiful weather here. We even brought out the slip-n-slide!
It's time for another Tuesday Throwdown and I'm excited about this week's challenge because it's Trees or Nature themed. I love trees. *sigh* Especially this gorgeous tree stamp from Waltzing Mouse Stamps. I love that the leafy part is separate.
ETA: Here's how I made this card.
1. Using the Woodgrain impression plate from PTI, emboss your card front.
2. Ink up the tree top (and small piece of tree top too) using several colors of green ink pads (for more realistic looking color) and stamp on white CS. Cut out.
3. After matting your focal point panel, ink tree trunk with 2 colors of brown ink and lightly place stamp face down onto the woodgrain BG stamps from PTI to create a pattern on your trunk. Lift up gently and immediately stamp onto your focal panel.
4. Stamp the tree top in greens onto your focal panel too, ignoring how it will hang over...that will be covered up by the cut out piece you stamped.
5. Using pop dots, adhere the tree tops that you previously stamped and cut out.
6. Add sentiment, some inked edges and ribbon. Pop up entire focal panel onto card base.

Gorgeous card, Dana! Love that woodgrain impression plate, which I don't own.....yet. :)
Love the woodgrain impression, stunning card Dana!
Oh, that's beautiful! I love hoe the ribbon seems to mimic the tree in some ways. The leaves being separate from the tree are good, too, since it allow you greater ease in coloring. I love the colors you used, too. Great card!
This is so striking! That tree is beautiful!
So pretty Dana! Love how you pop up the blossoms!
Fabulous! Love the dry embossing of the wood grain with the contrast of the bark! Fab!
Um wow, this is gorgeous. Love the texture.
Dana, this card is full of awesomeness! I literally gasped when I first saw it. It's the perfect use of the woodgrain texture plate, the WMS tree and the ribbon go perfectly--it's just one of the best I've seen!
Beautiful card! Love the tree and the dimension you have given it. And of course, the background is grand too! Love that PTI impression plate.

Hi Dana,
I absolutely LOVE this card! I just received my Asian Gardens stamp set yesterday in the mail. What perfect timing!! Is there anyway possible that you could post the instructions for the card? I've enlarged it on my computer and keep studying it, but it would be great to actually have the exact methods and materials you used. Thanks!
I love this card! The design, the colors...that wood grain stamp is so cool, and so versatile! Nice job!
This is gorgeous! Love how you kissed the tree stamp on the woodgrain (or that's how it looks at least). A truly beautiful creation!
super cute card Dana!
Thanks for posting the instructions!!
Be still my heart.....this is GORGEOUS, Dana!! I NEED that woodgrain impression plate!!!
This is totally cool! I love the super detailed impression you did for the card base! And the tree just goes perfectly! I love it all!
Beautiful card! The woodgrain texture looks great.
Beautiful! I love the Asian feel to this card! The wood background, ribbon, and your coloring all work so well together!
