I am sorry I am so quiet.
I worked on my swaps for Portland last weekend. Yesterday and today I went shopping to get ready for Portland. I didn’t get to create much.
This is a very simple card I made today.
The image from Trees from all Season was stamped in Black Stazon on a 2″ square Watercolor Paper and colored with Old Olive, Ruby Red, Close to Cocoa and Soft Sky Classic ink and Aqua Painter.
It was layered on a 2 1/4″ square of Black cardstock and 2 1/2″ square of Close to Cocoa cardstock.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The second layer is a 4″ square of Ruby Red cardstock.
The horizontal layer is a 1 3/8″ wide piece of Petals & Paisley Designer paper layered on a Whisper White cardstock. Both sides were scalloped with the corner punch. Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon was wrapped around the Olive paper.
The saying is from All Holiday and was stamped in Black Stazon.

I just love this tree set. I have been debating on purchasing it! All I really needed was to see your work with it and now I really want it! Maybe someday! 🙂 Beautiful card!
Lovely card!
What a sweet card, Beate! I’ve always loved this set (my MIL really wanted it, so I gave mine to her). Your coloring looks awesome!
This is the best card I’ve ever seen using that set! Those tree’s have always given me troubles, but now Im inspired to try something like this! Thanks for sharing your awesome card!
Oh I LOVE this, Beate! It’s beautiful. . .especially your coloring!
This is a stunning card. I love the colours together! Beautiful work!

I love how you added extra volume to the tree with the green. I struggle wtih this set because the trees look so naked — love it!
This a a great card! Don’t apologize for being quiet! We like it whenever you do post something 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us all!
I can’t believe it!
I am using the same set for my portland swap!
and of course it’s totally different.
I thought I would chose a set you don’t see everyday.
I love how you did the soft sky background!
What a pretty card – may be simple, but definitely beautiful!!
Love your watercolouring on this! Very sweet.
Simple, but oh so sweet!!!! Sometimes simple cards are the best. I love that image!
This is great, Beate! So different from the others. I don’t ever know what to do with this set. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’ve never seen a card I liked using this set – until this one! Wow – So Nice! Great coloring. Have a great trip!
This card is just adorable. I really like it. Mahalo for sharing.
VERY simple looks VERY cute to me – love it!
Lovely card Beate! I love that set but haven’t used it yet! Love your watercolouring!!! Awesome!
Cute card Beate!! Enjoy yourself at Regionals – I will be living vicariously through those of you who get to attend since I simply could not fit it in around the move!! However, I will be going to Leadership if it kills me – LOL! Thanks for giving me continuing inspiration, especially since all my supplies(well, almost all, had to SOMETHING to play with!) are packed in big boxes!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Have a great time in Portland! I’m actually from that area and will be flying in on Saturday to visit family and friends for a few days – unfortunately too late to get in on the stamping fun. But Portland in fall is fantastic, so you’re going at a great time.

Gorgeous! IT turned out beautifully!
This is such a sweet card! TFS!
Goodness! This is absolutley stunning my friend. I love it.
Beautiful. Wish I was going to portland to swap with you! 🙂
it is really pretty! i love the layout – very clean-feeling!
Really cute! Love how you colored green around the treetop. So it would be full with a few colored leaves.
That is one of those sets that has been on my wish list forever. I love how you used it. I think you are the master of the “simple” card! You Rock!
HUGS
