Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #182 Picture Challenge

Hello Fantabulous Friends!
 
I hope everything is going great for you all! This past month flew by here in Oklahoma. So much happened, most of which was quite stressful, but two really exciting things happened. 1. I turned 29! Literal 29, I haven't started holding yet :) annnddd 2. I am on the design team at Die Cuttin Divas!!  Isn't that so exciting? I think so!
 
This is my very first project as a DT member, and let me tell you what, I LOVE being a DIVA! This week's project was to make a project using a picture as inspiration. (To see that picture click here) That is a fantastic inspiration, and I knew instantly what I wanted to make. I bet you all will be surprised when I say that I used the WRMK Hall Pass collection. haha! 3 projects in a row. I'm telling you, I love this stuff!! I used some basic kraft cardstock. This is a 6x6, so I just cut a 12x12 in half. I had so much fun staining and distressing to give this card a warm feeling, or as my son says, "ahh it's like a nice warm hug." Fall is my favorite, so this was a favorite to create as well.
 
 

This Tree is from Create a Critter 2. I used colored velum for the leaves, distressed with some Tim Holtz stain in Wild Honey. I used Archival Brilliance ink in Coffee Bean to stamp the wood grain onto the tree.




 
I Love Jute in the Fall! The Leaf is from the Cricut cartridge Mother's Day Bouquet. The stamp is a Jaded Blossom stamp from the Thanksgiving stamp set. I used Glossy Accents on the leaf and the face of the tree.






I love how you can see the texture of the leaf in this picture! I am so loving the adorable tree!


 Well that's all I have for today. I have some life changes occurring, that once finalized, I will be so excited to share with you all. Be sure to head on over to the Die Cuttin Divas' blog to participate in this super fun challenge. Thanks for reading you all! Let me know what you think! Subscribe! Or just drop me a line :)
