Although the Perched in a Tree bundle features images and dies all about aspen trees, I’ll use a little artistic license and think of this die, especially, as portraying a birch tree. Our birch in the front yard, which makes it easy to identify our house as you come up the hill, is seriously ailing; this week the tree people will be implementing Phase 2 to save it. We were not of one mind here whether it should be removed (me) or nursed back to health (him), so it was good to have a professional opinion. (Please note that my seemingly harsh attitude does not apply to ailing humans!)
This card was heavily inspired by a sample on page 46 of the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, but I used the now-retired Sale-A-Bration Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes for the card base.
The sentiments in this set are beautiful, but I used my fall-back “Let’s celebrate you” from Celebrate Sunflowers for my husband’s birthday card.
Those little smudges of color on the tree trunks and branches were made with a light application of Granite Gray using a Sponge Dauber. They add so much! Also adding a lot are the many Stampin’ Dimensionals (or pieces) behind the die cut.
