This tree has been in the Stampin’ UP! collection in two different stamp sets. It is the perfect tree for so many cards. I have kept this tree pretty plain as it is a sympathy card and I wanted it to be a calm and quiet one.
Loveliest Tree Bundle
The Loveliest Tree is the second version of Lovely As A Tree that was available for probably twenty years. This is a simpler version that has the matching dies. However, it is now on the Last Chance List if you are interested in it.
This beautiful tree, with it’s perfect shape, did not need much color. I stamped it using Early Espresso Ink onto a Basic Beige layer. Next I added a bit of green around it using a Blending Brush and Old Olive Ink. This just gave it a bit of grounding without a lot of background or additional color.
The little Die cut leaves are from the Die set in the bundle. A trio of them were cut from Old Olive cardstock and scattered around. They match the Old Olive layer. To get the burnt look around the edges, I tore the paper and then dragged it across the Crumb Cake Ink pad. I was not really expecting it to go as dark as it did. But I do like the outcome.
Extras
This card really did not seem to want any bling. I really debated about it and brought out different blings to try. To add a bit more depth to the card, I did add a double layer of Linen Thread along with a Double Bow. That seemed to tie everything together. Here is also a look at the inside of the card. I do not normally add an additional layer there, but felt it was needed for this one.
