Time for challenge #10 at the
Craft Barn and this week their theme is 'Trees'. I thought about doing some kind of tree scene but that isn't really me so in the end I went for a stamped postcard style entry using glossy card. I don't use glossy card much but I really enjoyed playing with it - think I'll return to it soon!
Can't believe there are only two pages left to make - where has all the time gone?
Here's my entry for this week:

| I used an Andy Skinner tree stamp which I love simply because it is a stark silhouette which allows the background to shine through. The tree was stamped at different angles to allow the branches to meet in the centre of the piece. |

| The background was created with both archival and distress inks. Some images were stamped and others were achieved using a mask. The trees were last to be stamped using stazon ink. |

| The calendar stub was finished with Tissue Tape then inked through sequin waste followed by stamping. Distress ink was used for both. |

The only problem I found with the glossy card is trying to take photos which don't show glare on the shiny surface.
Thanks so much for looking and let me know what you think. |
