I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp Sheltering Tree stamp set to create my card to share today.  I posted another card using this same sketch on Saturday and you can see that card here.

The design for my card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #202.

And the colors for my card were inspired by Pals Paper Arts 266.

I started by stamping the leaf images from the Among the Branches photopolymer stamp set in Old Olive, Delightful Dijon and Cajun Craze inks randomly on the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

I stamped the tree and grass images from the Sheltering Tree photopolymer stamp set in Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon and Old Olive inks.  I inked the rake image with Soft Suede and Cajun Craze inks and stamped it next to the tree image, then added a little pile of leaves with Cajun Craze an Delightful Dijon inks next to the rake.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Cajun Craze card stock with SNAIL, then to a Delightful Dijon card stock panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the layered panels to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sheltering Tree stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a strip of White Vellum.  I sprinkled the sentiment with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I punched the ends of the vellum strip with the Banner Punch and adhered it to the card front with a single Glue Dot (hidden under the button).  I pulled a strand of Linen Thread through a Gold Basic Metallic Button, tied a bow and adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.

I stamped the tree image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set again on the inside of the card.
