Crazy 4 Challenges....thinking of you

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

This week at Crazy 4 Challenges Barbara has a great sketch for us!

This sketch features a large center panel that is titled, I love that!

I had held out for so long getting this amazing set, Sheltering Tree.

What was I waiting for?????

I love it, a tree for all seasons will be easy to accomplish with this set.

I decide to go with a beautiful spring/summer tree.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock, I followed that up with a layer of Naturals cardstock that I stamped with the Hardwood BG stamp. I used Crumb Cake ink. I love this BG stamp it is a must have in my opinion!

I stamped the tree with Early Espresso ink, and the leaves are stamped with Wild Wasabi ink.

The ground is Wild Wasabi as well.

I then added in the flowers, using a variety of colors, real red, pumpkin pie, melon mambo and daffodil delight.

I added the sentiment at the bottom leaving the circle element to the side for my pretty flower piece.

I made my flower using Real Red ink and the Petite Petals stamp set, the matching punch makes it easy to cut out. I stamped the flower again with Wild Wasabi for my leaves. The center is a daffodil candy dot. I could spend a day or two under this tree for sure!

Be sure and head over to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog to be inspired by the rest of the girls!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!
