I love this tree from the love and laughter stamp set by the angel company. It looks fall and in this setting almost spooky but not quite. Perfect for the season. I cut out an oval and then laid it over the cardstock and sprayed the opening with cornflower blue walnut ink. Then in the oval I cut out a 1" circle and laid the oval over the sprayed cardstock. First I took Brilliance Pearlescent Yellow and stippled inside the circle, then I added mango versamagic chalk ink and stippled it in. The edges have midnight blue versamagic ink applied. This is layered onto a rust cardstock. The yellow card is stamped with versamark ink with the curls and swirls stamp set by tac then sanded to bring out the design better. As far as I know this only works with DCWV white core cardstock. The one edge is torn. I used the crop-a-dile to punch the holes and fasten the eyelets in the corner. Some rust yarn is tied in the holes. All is mounted onto a navy A4 card. This card is for Danni's Flutterby Wednesday Challenge.

Ooh Peggie, your card is gorgeous. Loving how you have created this awesome tree and your eyelets and yarn are the perfect finishing touch.
