This punched and embossed card has no stamping on it at all, but it was fun to do anyway. I've used a Large Scalloped Oval Bigz Die with green embossed cardstock, then cut it up and arranged the pieces to make a tree. So there are my scallops for the Free For All 31 challenge today! And I also used a layout from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, and photo inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room.
More details over at my blog: http://colleen-dietrichdesigns.blogs...of-my-eye.html
Hope you like it!

How cute! And very punchy too ~ love your apple tree. I'm afraid our apple tree has shed all of its apples (and they are a pale yellowish colour so I don't get to enjoy those splashes of red among the leaves anyway). Fall is in the air and apples are part of the fall 'theme' - so your tree is just perfect! Great creativity! RYPH!

What a terrific tree using punchez Coleen. And, you used the MMSC th is week. You almost beat Bugz, but she did a lot of paper piercing and I told her each pierce counted as a punch!! But, who cares, your card is glorious and so interesting!! TFS!
