Today's CAS challenge is to use a tree. I decided many are already sick of the cold and snow, so why not look out upon this pretty garden path! Though this may look more than CAS it actually is pretty simple.
I used the newly released ODBD Gilded Gate Die, and two of the mini sentiments from the Mini Tag Sentiments set. I cut them with two different mini tags from the Mini Tags Die set. I LOVE these little sentiments and I know I will use them over and over! I also used an older stamp called Garden Path. I stamped this beautiful image on watercolor paper with Archival ink and watercolored with Derwent Inktense pencils and then shaded and colored the sky with pastel chalks. My picture seems to wash out the colors a bit but in real life I love how this came out and how perfectly the path lines up with the gate! I cut the Gilded Gate from black card stock and tied the little sentiments to a tiny spray of flowers with some fine gold cording. This card is 5x7" and is matted with metallic brushed gold. The dp is from Hobby Lobby, Paper Studio.
Thanks so much for looking! Will be back later to view the gallery and leave some love for you all!
