As I hoped, I spent some time yesterday crafting and took my inspiration from a number of challenges. Today’s card, using the Vertical Greetings set, is inspired by the latest challenge at CASology.

Here’s the banner which inspired my card. It closes tomorrow, so if you want to enter, you’d better get crafting.

I decided that I wanted five of the trees and drew a pencil line to so that I could easily line up the pots. I started from the left and used the edge of my stamp-a-ma-jig for the spacing! So for the second tree, I positioned it on the line and then moved it to the right until the edge of the plastic was at the right most edge of the first tree. It worked perfectly. Then I put my emerald envy stamped trees onto a card base of the same colour. The little bow made with the thick bakers’ twine in melon mambo is the accent. I toyed with adding a sentiment, but everything seemed to be too much. So, it’s very much a clean and simple card.

See you tomorrow,
