You Are Tree-Mendous Card

 I wanted to create a special thank you card for the mother of one of my good friends who baked some frosted sugar cookies for me recently. I should have taken a picture of the red, white, and blue popsicle shaped cookies she made because they were so beautiful, but I forgot and ate all the cookies before it occurred to me! 

For the card, I started by choosing some pink, orange, and yellow water color card stock that I had ink smooshed, sprayed, and/or watercolored. I know those aren't traditional colors for trees, but they are the challenge colors this month over on the Altenew blog, and I thought they would be very pretty and feminine for this card. I used Altenew's Chestnut Tree layering die set to die cut the tree. After I die cut all the layers, including some ink smooshed browns for the trunk, I assembled the tree and then embossed a panel using Altenew's Rolling Hills 3D embossing folder and trimmed it for an A2 card. I had an A2 card base in my stash that has just the right colors to match the tree, so I adhered the embossed panel to the card base and then added the tree with foam tape for dimension. For the "You aer tree-mendous" sentiment, I used my Silhouette Design Studio software to create a print and cut of the sentiment and then added it to the tree with Art Glitter glue.
