A tall tree and a long story

Paru's card making challenges is

 

 

I made two cards to send out myself this year, purely because I had an idea for a card but when I looked more cardefully at the pattern which I had purchased I decided that it was too complicated to produce a large number of. So I scrapped the idea and made these cards instead.

 

I was very happy with how they turned out.

 



 

However curiosity got the better of me and I did decide to give the original pattern a go. Once I had worked the holes out they weren't as complicated as I expected so I did make a couple of those too. You can see it here.          .
