Polka Dot Tree

This card was made for a Virtual Stamping Night sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. I was so unsure on how to interpret the sketch when I first saw it, but once I looked through my stuff and found the chipboard tree, the rest came together in a flash.

I don't have any Perfect Plum design paper so I created some using the Presto Patterns paper. I sponged Perfect Plum ink on it, then sprayed some Log Cabin Smooch Spray and colored some of the squares with a Soft Suede marker.

The background was stamped with the Woodgrain stamp and the sentiment was embossed in gold on the Soft Suede cardstock. I then wet the end of the cardstock strip and rolled it up. I added a Build-a-Brad covered with Old Olive paper on the left end.

The journaling block comes from the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' kit and so does the thin chocolate strip at the bottom. I added a piece of baker's twine and two olive brads and I was done.

I like how it turned out! I'm not usually big on Perfect Plum, but I do like how it looks paired with Soft Suede and Old Olive.
