A fun new tree!
It’s only Wednesday? Why do I feel like it should be at least Thursday…even Friday. Don’t you hate weeks like that? The ones where the weekend seems so far away? **sigh** Anyway…
Hello Kissable Tree
Here’s a fun new image! It’s the “Kissable Tree” designed by Kim Hughes and it’s the Stamp of the Month at Cornish Heritage Farms. I’ve been having some fun with this tree, but I haven’t tried any kissing yet. ;) Maybe tomorrow.
I used Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink to stamp the tree. I seem to get much better coverage with that one (and it still dries quickly so I like that too).
The little bird in the tree is from Kim’s Pretty Birds set but the other bird and the sentiment are from Mocha Chica, a new mini-set to be released August 15th (along with matching patterned paper–can’t wait for that)! I outlined the tree a bit with a gray marker and stitched around the border, switching to a zig-zag stitch in spots. My friend, Julia, did that on one of her cards and now I can’t stop. I love that look!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! (Eventually it will be Friday, right?)

So cute! I love your colors, and your birds are adorable. The sewing is very cool, too!
Cute card, Michele. I like the color combination!
Oh Michele, this card is just lovely!! The dp and those colours are really striking! I love all your stitching and Julia inspires me too…..if only I could figure out how to use the 30 year old sewing machine that my mom gave me….sigh. I’d also love to know how you attach those lovely pieces of ribbon and then the button on top!!!
Oh how cute! I love, love, love the colors you used and this tree is darling! I can’t wait for the release of Kim’s paper!!!
When I first saw this stamp yesterday I thought I’d like to have it but after seeing this card I’m going to order it right now! Very, very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
This is so sweet! I love that whimsical tree. Really great colors too.
Love that tree! Looks like it’d be a great stamp to add to a collection just for scenes with different bird stamps…I’m definitely going to have to check that out! Thanks for the inspiration…and the enabling!
I love the swirly tree and the fun colors you used! Those birds are so cute!!
Ack, I love that tree!!! I have to get one!! So many possibilities! I also love love love the colors you used!! You’re killin’ me with the kim hughes stuff!! I am trying really hard to resist and you’re not good for my will power! LOL!
