This tree image from Penny Black always reminds me of my prefect's badge from Grammar School. I think our emblem was an apple tree, but the general shape was very similar. It's lovely isn't it! I heat embossed this one and then overprinted it with my Rollagraph script wheel stamp, in gold pigment ink.
The sketch is from Clean and Simple and the colours are from Colour Create's challenge this time around. I made a card for their last challenge but by the time I got around to uploading it, the challenge had changed!!
The embossing at the edges was made with a Papermania folder, the sentiment was computer generated and the scallops are from a Stampin' Up punch.
I ordered a Letterpress set this morning, stupidly I forgot to order extra inks, I think I'll wait until it arrives and see how I get on with what is in the kit. If anyone has tips for me when using a Letterpress set I'd be happy to hear them!

Another image that looks like its been foiled. My sons' school emblem is an oak tree - I think the idea is along the lines of " from acorns, mighty oak tree's grow" = if not, i'll suggest it LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely card and gorgeous colour scheme.
