Another tree card

 

I have used this pattern in so many different ways over the years. This is how it was intended to look.

 

Supplies:

Card stock: 160gsm in white

Flower Power

Simon says stamp blog Monday challenge is an easy one

'Flower Power'

 

 

I made a number of these a little while ago and merely added peel off sentiments as needed. I cut the top piece of the card stock slightly shorter than the bottom and added the gingham paper to the bottom piece so that it would show. On this one the four dots of liquid pearls are to cover 4 pricked holes which I made by mistake!

Cardstock: 160gsm in white

Paper: Activity village free download

Gold peel off

Liquid pearls in gold
