Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a roll of a dice to inspire us today. The roll gives us – pearl, colouring, In Colors, sympathy and standard horizontal and I have used the new Loveliest Tree stamp set to make my card.
To recreate the loveliest tree card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛ Pebbled Path card – 4⅜” by 3½” Basic White card – 3⅜” by 4¼” Boho Blue card – 3¼” by 1” Moody Mauve card – 3¼” by 1” Wild Wheat card – 3¼” by 1” Copper Clay card – 3¼” by 1” Scrap Basic White & Pebbled Path card
I decided to use the 2023 – 2025 In Colors to make my card, they seemed more appropriate for a sympathy card. I added a little removable adhesive to the back of each 1” strip of in color card and lined them up on a sheet of grid paper butted up against each other.
