More Inspiration For Let's Squash It! Trees and Leaves Challenge

Hello Squashettes.   Gail here today with some more inspiration for the current Trees and Leaves challenge.  

I went close up on the tree and used sizzix Woodgrain embossing folder.

I embossed a piece of kraft card with the woodgrain folder, smeared on some tea dye distress ink and mounted on a blue card base.  I'm very into cats at the moment so I grabbed this cool Peekaboo Kitty and fun sentiment, both from Carmen's Vearanda.

You have until the end of the month to link up your gorgeous projects.  Hope to see you here.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

More Inspiration for Challenge #25 - Trees and Leaves

 

This month we're all about Trees and Leaves here at Let's Squash It!

We have the very talented Joanne with us as our guest, so here's a quick reminder of her adorable card:

Isn't that EF a beauty? I think I need to add it to my wish list... and the dainty leaves too... and the gnome!

Here's what I made for this inspiration post:

Trust me, but this looks so much better IRL. The EF is a Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades folder by Tim Holtz called Acorns. The depth of the embossing is amazing and so tactile.

You still have until the end of the month to play along with this challenge and it would be great to see more cards in the gallery. I think this theme would work well for Halloween and Christmas cards, so why not come and join the fun?

We are very pleased to have our Let's Squash It!! Empress joining us as our guest designer this month.  Please welcome Marlena from Marlena is Faithfully Crafting.

"Hi my name is Marlena McDeavitt. I have the honor of being a guest designer at Let's Squash It. My online name is Marlenaisfaithfullycrafting at blogger and I've been creating since 2011 as faithfully as I can! I'm a Jesus follower, mother of three young ladies and wife of a supportive husband. I'm surprised I've stuck with one main craft (stamping) for so long! I wasn't sure how long I'd stamp cards, since I like to try new crafts now and again. I feel the stamping community has been so supportive and the market is always evolving, so there's room to grow as a designer. Thank you for having me here!"

 

Here's what Marlena made:

 

A gorgeous close - up

Marlena's Card uses

And here's some inspiration from the team...…

 

Gail's Card uses
