Here is the finished inside:
...and the inspiration picture:
Isn't that picture gorgeous?! I just love all the different colored leaves. After stamping the tree, I used two different colors on the large leave stamps to mimic them turning (orange/red; yellow/orange, green/yellow,), and just one color on the smaller leaf stamps. This is a pretty large tree stamp, and after I had everything stamped and colored, I trimmed the panel down so that some of the leaves went off the sides. I rounded the top corners, added a strip of green DP to ground the tree and wrapped some twine around it before adhering it with foam squares on my card base.
So, are you all ready for the trick or treaters today? I love to see what costumes the kiddies are wearing. My favorite ones are the home made costumes. There are some really clever and talented parents out there!
Have a great day!
Chris
