Brenda chose a wonderful site: At Home. This wall art inspired me: https://www.athome.com/abstract-tree...5.html#start=1
I used 2 different brands of stitched rectangles so it did not work to use the choc. chip border all round, as the stitching would not show at the top and bottom, so just did the vertical sides on the wood effects piece. I sponged the oxides on heavy c.s. to try to get balance of the lower color on the wood effects paper and then stamped my sentiment. I popped it up with dimensionals as well as on the wasabi'd tree. tfl

Oh, I love this card. The background is fabulous and so much like your inspiration, Shirl. Your tree image in that color to match the bkgd is a beauty.

What a handsome 'guy' card!! I love the rustic looks of it, it is very masculine!

Jaw Drop! This card is amazing Shirl. I love this gorgeous tree silhouette image and how you placed it against this gorgeous multi-colored woodgrain dp. I love your use of twine here too. I would say this is a fantastic card for a man or a woman (or at least this woman!). ~Karen.
