I was inspired by all the red, green and yellow on the site and also this package with the tree. 4th photo down, you can't miss that green!
Thanks for the challenge Stephanie!
-Sky is added with my handmade acetate cloud template and a dauber.
-Prismacolor pencils for coloring.
-Paper sculpting was done on the butterflies, flowers and leaves using a metal ball stylus.
-Nail heads are attached with Diamond Glaze.
-Freehand doodles were done with a Marvy fine tip marker because I thought it needed somethingÂ…I like CAS but it just wasnÂ’t working for me here, I guess it needed some whimsy.
-Tree is paper pieced.
-Scoring was done the base panel with the Scor-Pal.

Ohh that is so fun and gorgeous!! Stop tempting me Roxie!! I agree - thought I am the queen of simple layouts - the added flowers reallly give the card some pizzazz - as do the butterlflies on the tree. Fabulous Rox!

Roxie, how sweet and whimsical. But your awesome details are still here in the paper-sculpted flowers & butterflies, puffy clouds, scalloped borders, and doodling. A wonderful offering tonight.
