I haven’t used this tree stamp for a long time.  It’s from one of my oldest Stampin’ Up sets.  I thought it would fit well with this week’s CPS sketch so I decided to dust it off and ink it up.  I added some sponging to the panel that the tree is on so it wouldn’t look so stark against the mat and the card base.  The only thing about this card that isn’t a Stampin’ Up product is the button, which was an extra that came with some article of clothing a long time ago and had stashed away. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, It’s Your Birthday (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla (SU)
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke
Other: corner rounder punch, linen thread (SU); sponges; miscellaneous button
