Heartfelt Thanks

Hello crafters!  It is the Eternal Heart Tree that is the star of today's offering.  I started by cutting the trunk section of the tree out of tan card.  I inked it lightly with Vintage Photo ink while still in the die.  Next I cut the tree top area out of Old Rose card with a piece of Powder Pink card underneath it.  The old rose cut out completely, but the powder pink cut mostly just the outside line  (I had to tape a couple of hearts back in place).  I used that one as a base and glued the Old rose over the top of it.  I put it back into the die and embossed it so the hearts popped out a bit more.  I added mounting foam to the back of it and glued the tree base into place.  Next I used the Stitched Hills and Clouds die and cut a little hill to go behind it.  I added it to a white backing and then added the tree to it.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and made a triple layered frame for it out of white.  I added extra layers of foam to each of the frames going upward in height so the smallest one was the tallest and added them over the tree.  I used the tree top one more time with some scrap pink card and cut a few extra hearts, which I added to the area next to the tree. I cut a strip of vellum and seated the Heartfelt Thanks sentiment on it and added it across the top of the tree.   The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card, love the colours you have used go together so well. I’ve just been for a morning walk here in Motherwell, Scotland, it’s a cloudy but crisp icy morning. Hope weather good wherever you are!

Lovely Eternal Heart Tree design. I especially like your triple and stacked frames that draws my eyes to your focal element the heart tree. Nice look with the sentiment on vellum. Hugs

Lovely card

Eunice Astle said...

Beautiful card Sue, the triple layer frame is a eye catcher!

Judy Hollers said...

The stacked frames on this card add lots of texture and beautifully showcase the heart tree. I need to use vellum more often, and your sentiment on vellum is good inspiration for me to do so. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs.
