Well Connie Jo is out of commission for awhile...something about a knee ;). Because she photographs her card against her favorite tree, I thought that I would honor her with a tree. And wood texture. And another tree...
Stamped the tree from Branch out in Basic Brown, then the leaves in Memento Bamboo Leaves & Cottage Ivy and SU Green Galore. Sponged with green Galore. Cut a strip of brown ruched paper and partially matted with Garden Green. Ran brown CS through the TH EF that had been inked with Close to Cocoa (it gave a pretty cool 2 toned look IRL). Mounted all on a PTI cream card and added the nailheads and Sizzix Originals leaves. PT - 2 I used Roxie's wonderful sketch for my layout.
Feel better, Connie! Hope that your rehab is quick and that you are back to yourself again soon
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Looks as if you and Phyllis ran with a similar idea - it was a great one. I love your tree and wood texture, along with the real tree in your photo. Just as well you don't have to send that along with the card!!
Very pretty and one of my favorite stamp sets. How sweet of you to do a tree card and to take your picture in the tree in honor of Connie Jo. I like the wood bg and the dew drops on it.
