Birthday Water colored Tree

Happy Friday! Thanks for dropping by. I hope I've got my return visiting caught up, so I wanted to post another card. Remember this post where I said I'd done 2 water color Rubbernecker trees, misplaced them? Well here's one, that I finally got made into a card. (Still got one more to use up!) This will be for our neighbor's November birthday; she has a gorgeous maple tree in her front yard, that we probably get to enjoy more than she does, as it's very visible from our windows.


The Rubbernecker stamp was inked with Distress markers in fall shades, then spritzed. I think some Zig markers were also brushed around to add more color after stamping/spritzing - in places that looked like they needed it.

A stitched frame die was adhered over top of the stamped piece (because I had cut it too small...had to fiddle to get it to fit inside this frame). Then an old Tim Holtz 12x12 Fall pack was cut up to create the mat behind. Used VOS Paper Studio card pack of vintage sepia colors, to get the other design papers. Top right stitched rectangle cut from Sue Wilson Noble die, and an MFT angled die cut the spotted paper. The sentiment was embossed with Brutus Monroe Detail Copper. Tha's all folks!

Hoping that you have a wonderful weekend, with great weather. Our humidity has been less, and the morning & evening temps much cooler - but the day still warms up nicely. With less humidity, though, it's quite pleasant!

Big hugs - God Bless.

  4. Beautiful tree, MAry. She will love it!

    Our neighbours have 4 or 5 huge flowering Cherry trees across the alley from our back deck. We love the blossoms in the spring. the buds and leaf growth during the late spring and the gorgeous colours of the trees as they get ready to drop their leaves. The privacy they provide is sadly missed all winter!

  13. What a beautiful fall tree, Mary! I love the angle of the patterned paper! Our leaves haven't changed much here. I noted a bit of color starting in one yesterday. Maybe these cooler temps with start them changing. I am really enjoying the cooler, less humid weather!

  17. What a glorious maple tree you have created here. Your neighbour will be delighted to receive this card from you. We have had a lovely day weatherise and I i managed to give the front lawn a good weeding and probably now it's last cut for the year. It has bounced back remarkabl y well from the drought conditions it had suffered with back in June/July. Hugs Mrs A.

  23. Love this fall beauty Mary! Your neighbor is going to enjoy that I'm sure. We have trees in the front of our house like that. They are maple and they are always the last to turn and when they do they are a brilliant red color. I know I love them in the fall. I hope the neighbors do to. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous card! Have a great week!
