The sketch challenge over at Everything but the Kitchen Sink inspired me to create a card featuring the four seasons. I wanted to keep true to the sketch...simple, clean. But also because of the sentiment, I wanted to create a soft, calm and serene feeling as well for the recipient. I started by choosing four patterned paper designs that reminded me of the seasons and then stamped them with the tree image and distressed the edges with the same chalk ink. I added the linen thread on the top of the card for a bit of added interest, and the texture and color of it reminded me of the wood from the trees. Is it ok to really really like your own cards? Because I absolutely adore this card, it gives me goosebumps.
Supplies Used: SU Sweet Pea DSP and Kraft Cardstock, SU Three Trees Stamp Set, Colorbox Chalk Ink in Creamy Brown, Linen Thread, CM Square Punch
