The Leaning Tree

Photo Details

Poster: bubblestx4

Today's challenge was to feature a fence - since I have neither a die nor a stamp of a fence, I "built" my own with paper strips fussy cut to a point at the top - I did this in off white so it would stand out a bit even though it was in the background. I die cut the tree 3 times and glued the layers together for a bit more stability ( a bit of a challenge since the branches are so delicate) then mounted with foam tape. The children were cut twice and layered then mounted with flex glue. Thaks for Looking!

I see we've used the same dies but in a different way yours is almost the picture from the other side...a great CAS design and your fence is terrific!!

Well, you created a perfect fence, Linda! The clean design of this is really cool, very effective. I never quite know what to do with those children, I use the tree on its own far more. So I know just how fiddly it must have been layering it up!!
