I love the new Sheltering Tree stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog! I think that it’s my favorite set…well, at least it’s my favorite set today. 😉

I started by stamping the image from the Hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a Crumb Cake panel. Then I went to work on my focal image.

I stamped the tree images from the Sheltering Tree photopolymer stamp set (available Jan 6) in Crumb Cake and Old Olive inks on a Whisper White panel. Then I added the little swing image in Crumb Cake and the flowers in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Inks.

I stamped the paintbrush image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set in Bermuda Bay ink, then stamped it again without reinking right under it and over it. I stamped that same image again in Coastal Cabana ink above the Bermuda Bay images and I stamped it a second time without reinking. I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Basics stamp set (available Jan 6) in Cherry Cobbler ink over the paintbrush images.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock that I’d punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch, then added a dot in the center of each scallop with my White Stampin’ Chalk Marker. I adhered the layered panel to the Crumb Cake panel with SNAIL and I stapled a little snip of Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon and a little snip of the Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Sale-a-bration item available Jan 6) with the Handheld Stapler to the panel. I finished the card by adhering the layered panels to a Bermuda Bay card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped those cute little flowers from the Sheltering Tree stamp set again in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inks across the bottom of a Whisper White panel inside the card.
