Orange trees

Today I've rushed around like the squirrels burying their nuts for winter!!

I did manage to squeeze in a few hours at Jacqueline's, and at the last minute before I left, decided to enter the colour challenge at  Simply Stampin where they have these yummy  new colours.

The only SU stamps I had with me was my trusty Lovely as a Tree, so out they came. I've then had to finish it off at mum's friends house ( while they gossiped ) as I was running out of time to enter, so fingers crossed I've made the deadline.

Here's my card using one of my favorite techniques of "sponging". 

On some Very Vanilla card I've sponged the yellowy sky over a Post It sun and a torn scrap paper hill, and then stamped the trees in the snowy foreground. I used the edges of the branches to make hedges along the crests of the hills, and the large pine tree to make a fir tree frame around the card edge. I finished by sponging the foreground to make small hillocks ( sorry they're hard to see in the photo), and drew 3 birds with a write marker.

Recipe: Card = Very Vanilla and square cream card from my stash

Inks = Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, and Soft Suede

Stamps = Lovely as a Tree

Extras = Post It

Hope you like it. Tomorrow I'll show you what I did make at Jacqueline's.

Have a good weekend.
