I’ve just realized that I’ve used the same stamp set for this week’s Dynamic Duos challenge as I used last week.  That wasn’t intentional!  But what can I say – it’s a very versatile set that I really like.

This week the challenge colors are Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black, with an option to use a plant theme.  I originally thought about trying to do something with leaves, but in the end I came back to this tree stamp.  The layout comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I’ve used ruffled seam binding in place of the scalloped element, and added a layer to the sketch so I could tuck the ends of the binding underneath.  Even though the ruffles add dimension to the card, they are soft and squishable so they’ll be easy to mail, so I think this card will still be suitable for Operation Write Home.

Thanks for stopping by today!  As always, all comments are read and appreciated.

Edited on 6/21/13 to add:  Thank you, Hayley, for choosing this card as a Dynamic Duos Dynamic Darling!  I’m so honored! 🙂
