STANDING ALONE

Hello and welcome! Thank you for dropping by for today’s latest project.

After yesterday’s Global Design Project blog hop, today I am back with another Beauty of the Earth Suite project.

In an earlier post, I mentioned how much I liked the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper and all of their designs. The blue and green papers used on the card front are perfect for the sky and rolling hills I created for this card. It was so easy to tear the DSP to create the undulating hills.

TIP: When you tear the paper by hand, to get a green edge without any white showing, you need to tear from the back not the front. If you tear from the front some white will be seen.

I started by laying down the sky and the wider hills. Then cut each of the elements for the tree. A tall, strong tree standing steadfastly alone – a symbol that illustrates the sentiment perfectly. I placed Adhesive Sheets onto the back of the DSP and cardstock, so that I could very easily secure the tree to the card front. I stamped the sentiment directly onto second layer of ‘hills’ before it was adhered to the bottom of the panel.

I secured lengths of Natural and Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim to the front panel and tied them in knot and trimmed them back. I added a mini glue dot behind the knot to secure it. As I often do, I added thin strips of DSP to the card insert and envelope – just to add the finishing touches (no bling this time).

Who inspires you? Who would you give this card to?

I am so pleased with this card. It is clean and simple and so easy.

Happy stamping.
