Jen gave us a sketch challenge that I absolutely love...I remember listing it as a CAS fave on the weekly thread back then. Stamped the tree in Archival sepia, then the leaves in Green Galore, Memento Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy. Fashioned Sculpey into a tire shape and baked. Tied the hemp twine and attached to the tree with glue dots. cut a few tiny leaves from Mellow Moss CS to cover the ends. I finished the DTGD challenges but this fits the one below and was fun so I put it in that gallery as well. PT - resting.
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

What a wonderful tire swing hanging from your tree. Makes one think of childhood.

Marie, you stole my idea!! I love that tree and thought this sketch would be great with the Branch Out tree on the edge. I guess I was right. Love this.

Baked tires - what a fun idea! This is so precious and so cute. You seriously had some mojo going on this wonderful creation. I need to get some clay and start baking some things for my cards too!!!!
