Hi! I made this card for today's ways to use it challenge: twine! This card is, for me, a mixture of elegant and whimsical. A bit out of my comfort zone to add twine to the border, but I kind of like it!
I stamped the tree on watercolor paper, and then heat set it. After dousing it with water, I added color. It's ok, but it looked better in the beginning (before it dried!) I think it's too flat. Oh, well, an artist I am not!!
TFL and have a beautiful day!

What a terrific idea to use that punch for a fence - so lovely - but that willow - sooooo gorgeous!!!!! Love the way your twine balances the sentiment and those sweet butterflies! Beautiful creation!!!

Very pretty card, I love your weeping willow tree and the embossing (or is that scoring?). I really like the way you've used the twine through punched holes along that great border!
