I love the tree image in the Rooted in Nature stamp set. It reminds me of a tree I used to drive past often when we lived in New Mexico.
That tree was just there by itself, in all of it’s gorgeousness, in the middle of nowhere. It seemed so persistent, and strong, and present. I loved the tree so much, that I stopped on the highway one day before we moved away from New Mexico to snap a photo.
What a perfect image for a card you might need for a friend going through a hard time.
This card is very simple to put together.
I used a 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” Early Espresso card base scored at 4 1/4”. I embossed the front of the card by loading only the front side into the embossing folder, then ran it through the Big Shot.
I stamped the tree image on a piece of very vanilla, then carefully tore the edge (tearing toward myself) to make a ragged edge. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the bottom edge and secured it with a glue dot. I added an embossed leaf in Crushed Curry and adhered the whole bundle to the front of the card. I added a greeting to a very vanilla mat and adhered to the inside.
So simple, yet so beautiful.
