CASology #176: TREE

Hello, friends!  After a quiet week last week, I am back with a new cue card at CASology that is sure to draw LOTS of participants!


There are SO many ways to go with this cue...I really encourage you to get creative and show us your best CAS designs!

I pulled out an oldie but a goodie in my stash...this pretty Hero Arts "Branch and Flourish Tree."  I think it looks beautiful when it is embossed in white against patterned paper.  One gem on the top of the tree finishes it off!


The dry embossing on the card base mimics the scrolls of the tree.


(I made another version using different patterned paper but I'll have to take pictures of it tomorrow, the afternoon light is fading quickly!)

Be sure to link up your TREE card by noon on Monday (Central time).  Check out the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week, too!

    Love the classic feel of this and how the swirls of the tree match the swirls of the embossing!

    This is beautiful and elegant. I completely forgot I have this stamp. It is so lovely, that it does not require much, and you have shown off this stamp perfectly. Love how the swirls in your texture echo in your stamp.
