This is for FS256 and LunarLana is our featued artist today. Congratulations, Lana! I had lots of fun browsing your gallery. I was inspired by your Thankful Tree card found here. Thankful Tree by LunarLana at Splitcoaststampers I was excited to use my new Memory Box Arboscello Tree die. I kept Lana's sme layout and theme but changed the color combination. I cut two of the tree and attached one to the the base layer and then distressed the second one so the leaves and branches had texture and popped it up over the first one with small pieces of mounting tape and rolled up glue dots. I attched tons of little flowers to the tree to replace Lana's buttons and placed my Just Because sentiment along the ground area instead of on the card base. I put two little birds in the trees to replace Lana's butterflies. I used a strip of crimped grass to replace Lana's ribbon.

I get to comment first!! Kittie, I'll say it again! You are such an inspiration to me!!
This card is a beauty! Gorgeous, light and attractive colors!
(Now I need this die too!)
Could you mention sometime if you use a metal shim to get your intricate dies cut. I'm having some trouble with a couple of mine.
Happy New Year, too! c.
