Palm Tree


After making a palm tree through my cricut I thought I would buy a die so there would be slightly less wastage but didn't realise how big he was.  I think it works for this card for Less is More seaside challenge. First of all I made the base card with some blending of yellow and blue but didn't take the colour all the way across.
The palm tree was placed and I decided I needed a sentiment and used one from Simon Says Stamps Floral Bookmarking but looking now I should have placed it slightly higher in line of the palm tree at the time I was just grateful it was straight.
Once everything was stuck down I realised I need to make the palm tree look planted rather than floating so a few lines to ground it, of course the tree is hiding some that went a bit weird looking.

    Love your card, such fun. You may be right about the placement of the sentiment ... how many times have we all done that though!

    Great card, Deb. Love the blending and how you added the lines to ground the tree. I think the placement of the sentiment is fine. It also helps to ground the tree. Great job.

    This is a gorgeous creation Debby. I can see what you mean about the die, it works as the main feature superbly but couldn't be used as an embellie. Lol!!!
    Have a good weekend.
