Sheltering Tree - Sale-a-bration 2015 - Stampin' Up!

Inking up my new stamp set the Sheltering Tree.  This is a sweet, loving card using Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush Class Inks.  Ink up your stamp with Pink Pirouette and then use a sponge dauber to add the Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush.

I love the new Jute Ribbon which I used as an accent behind the stamped image piece.  To make the bow I snipped off the edge of a length of Jute Ribbon and pulled a couple of strands of the fibre and tied a double bow.  My background is the ever useful Woodgrain (which I didn't remember was retired until I made this post!)  and the hearts are made with two different punches.  The small heart from the trio pack Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and couple of the tiny hearts from the Confetti Heart Border Punch.  Colour up a Rhinestone with the Melon Mambo Blendabilities and you are all set!

Here is a little peek at the inside of the card...

I made this card for a local swap and then made a few more to have on hand...so I made a total of 16.
