For this challenge I chose this lovely image Birds in a Tree by Hope Jacare Doodles for both myself and Choccy to work with. I loved all the swirls in the tree trunk and I could see that the leaves could easily be gemstones and of course the little tweety birds peeking out from the branches are very cute J

I coloured the image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers and although this is a big card and the image is big it needed the fine tip on the Promarkers to keep inside the intricate lines of this design. I used a new X Cut die set to cut the image and I was lucky as it was only just big enough. I distressed the edges to soften it a little. I added lots of gems to the leaves and some Glossy Accents to the birdies.

The large 8” card is covered with papers from my favourite Autumn collection, Woodland Friends by Papermania. The sentiment was a freebie some time ago from Raindrop Echo Designs which has been coloured, cut with a Nestabilities die and distressed with a small ink pad.

To cover the join in the paper I used a fab ‘ribbon’ that I got from a haberdashery stall in a local market. It has four rows of faux gemstones and you can cut the webbing to make it as thin or thick as you like. I just love perusing these little stalls as you can find some wonderful bits and pieces for your cards J

To finish off I added some more buttons from my Boofle bag, some embossed stickers from Papermania and some small red gems which have been recycled from an old T shirt.
