Compose a Card 6


Hi everyone!! Today's card is for Becky's Compose a Card challenge. I LOVE Becky's challenges, they are so much fun!! I am also entering this card for the Moxie Fab Olympic challenge, thank you category, I'm having fun with these challenges!! Typically I am not a blue fan, but Papertrey's Enchanted Evening is gorgeous, and paired with Soft Stone, WOW!! I was determined to use my Through the Trees set, at first I tried to emboss it in white but I could not get it matched up (still had trouble with the blue but it looks much better! Still need to practice more with this set!) so I was stumped a little. I thought of my Turning a New Leaf set, there are leaves that look so similar to the leaves on the tree, bingo!! An idea came to mind! I have to tell you, I absolutely fell in love with Turning a New Leaf when I first saw it, when I received it I had no idea what to do with it but now I am reaching for it again and again!! Woohoo!! Normally I keep things centered but I got the idea to off center the tree panel and have the bow off to the other side, I think I like it!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Through the Trees & Turning a New Leaf
Paper: Papertrey Enchanted Evening & Soft Stone
Ink: Enchanted Evening & Versamark
