Design a Tree...Easily!

Hey!

Happy Friday-Eve! :)

I'm doing a double today with this card as it's time for a new CASE Study and it's also the week I get to share some sneaky peeks of the Clearly Besotted Stamps April release (check out day one here.)

But first, the studying. It's a new month, which means we have a new muse on board to CASE - yay! This month we're CASEing Jacyln Miller! I first 'met' Jacyln when we were both in the final rounds of Gallery Idol 2011 and have been a fan of her creative ideas ever since. :)

So today's card is inspired by studying this card of Jaclyn's:

Check out the original post of this card here.

I think it's pretty easy to see what inspired me from Jaclyn's card. The clean and simple design, the pops of red, the layout, and the touch of sparkle. I took those elements, inked up a new CBS set - Design a Tree - and got busy! This tree stamp set is adorable and I love that the hearts are already arranged as a singular stamp to decorate the tree - it makes it soooooo easy to play with!

And of course, I couldn't resist making those hearts sparkle with touch of magic known as a clear Wink of Stella pen. ;)

• The bottom third of the card uses CBS' Tree Landscape Die. I die cut it from vellum and simply chopped off the trees to create a new style landscape that's treeless.
• The little red heart stamped next to the sentiment helps to balance the design. The sentiment looked a little lost without it.
• I added a fine line of glitter to the top of my die cut landscape using a glue pen and some fine, white glittler. It adds a touch more definition to the vellum panel and coordinates with the sparkly hearts. :)

OK just one more thing. Feel free to skip it. But this blog would really appreciate your vote as it's been shortlisted in a competition to find the UK's best arts and crafts blog. If you likey, then be sure to votey! ;)

I think that's enough babbling from me for today. I'll be back tomorrow with yet another CBS sneaky peek - I hope you can join me!
