Just trees

Chris's card

Isn't it great when you can take simple things and make something artistic from them? I love monochromatic pieces, especially black and white,  so when Sheila and I challenged each other to make something using these Crafty Individuals tree stamps it was an obvious black and white piece for me. The four square stamps have been framed using Sizzix framelits dies and overlaid the bottom background which was created by repeat stamping a Clarity Stamps treescape stamp. The top decoration was created using a Hero Arts flourish stamp. How simple is this?


Sheila's card

I decided to use Tim Holtz distress inks, a backing paper from one of my many cd's. I used the tree stamps to create a background then used the same image in slightly different colours along with gold flakes on one of them. How different do they both look?
