Just Because

Hi folks!

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO POST ON FRIDAY!  I JUST SAW THAT IT STILL SAID "DRAFT".  SORRY ABOUT THAT!!

I hope you are all doing well.  Today, I have a "just because" card as I'm designing for Exploring Cricut.  This image came from Summer Celebrations...I guess because I am wishing it was summer.  :)  I chose this image because it could go for anything.  I think it turned out well.


I used a 5x7" card base and cut the tree out at 5.5".  This worked well because I was able to center it in the middle of the card.  I took a cuttlebug folder and added some dimension to the leaves, or top of the tree.  I wanted to spice it up a little bit more so I added some brads to it to give it almost a patriotic theme.  I also used pop dots to give the tree, itself, some dimension.  I hope you like it!



Craft on,
Ian

    1. Thank you, Sharon! I have been thinking of making something that I can hang in my craft room, like a "how can I make this project better?" and then list how to enhance it (Embossing, Heat embossing, gel pen, brads, inked edges, etc.). :)

  2. Great card Ian - great use of the Devine Swirls folder for the embossing on the tree :-) TFS
