Thoughtful Branches and the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #CCMC416

It is Thursday which means it is time for  the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge.  This week it is a color challenge.

I saw this color combination and knew it would be perfect to use with the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and Beautiful Branches dies.  I shared another sample using this beautiful stamp set and dies here.   This set and thinlits will be available for purchase on August 2.

The only stamp set i used to make this card is the Thoughtful Branches set.  Not only does this set have beautiful images, it also has a lot of sentiments.   It really is the complete deal!  

Here are a couple of tips that I found helpful when I made this card.  I cut the tree top/leaf image out first and then stamped it with Mint Macaron ink. I used a stamp-a-ma-jig to do the stamping and it made it much easier to line up.  The set is photopolymer but there are a lot of leaves to position and for me using the stamp-a-ma-jig made sense.  I also line the leaves with an oval cut from the Layering Oval framelits.  I cut the oval using the #4 oval framelit( #1 being the smallest oval).  I attached the branches to the oval and the layered the leaves over the branches.

I added a few Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper hearts to the tree to add a little sparkle.   Did you notice the birds?  Yes, there are 2 stamps that have the birds facing different directions and yes there are dies that cut the birds out.  

I hope you will join in the challenge.  I would love to see what you create.  You also need to check out what the other members of the design team created.  I think you will be inspired and amazed.
