Welcome DIVAS OBG Blog Hop - Fall Tree Many Thanks

Thank you for stopping by.  This is my card for the DIVAS - Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop.  The theme is to use at least 1 thing that you have but have not used for 6 months or more.  You might have arrived here from the blog of my  extremely creative friend Chrissy, Creating With Chrissy.  Her blog was the first blog on the hop.
     For my card, I used a number of things that I have not used in 6 months or more.  They are the Season of Friendship set, Framed Tulips, and watercolor paper.  The tree is stamped on the watercolor paper and then I inked up the leaf stamp with markers and spritzed the stamp with water before stamping on the paper.  I was hoping to give the leaves a little watercolor appearance.  For the embossed panel, I sponged vanilla card stock with Cajun Craze ink to as Cajun Craze is very dark and I wanted a little lighter version for my card.  I then embossed it with the embossing folder and trimmed it to put on the Early Espresso base.  The ribbon is white organdy ribbon that I had and I tinted it by sponging it also with the Cajun Craze ink.  I added it to the image panel and adhered it to the card.  The sentiment is from Petite Pairs and stamped on Very Vanilla and then punched with the Word Window punch and layered with the Modern Label punch I trimmed off the left edge of the punches and applied to the card and added a Basic Pearl to finish it off.  See supply list below.  As always to order any of the products used above or see what other products Stampin' Up! has to offer, check out my Stampin' Up!

Beautiful card, Cindy! That tree looks like all of the trees around my house today -- the wind has blown most of the leaves off. But that is what autumn is all about and the card reflects that beautifully! Love the colors you used for the leaves. Sending hugs!
