Dynamic Tree Circles...


Hiya!

It's time for another Dynamic Duos challenge and when I saw this week's colours I knew I had to make something masculine...


I knew I wanted to use Lovely as a Tree and the Comfort Cafe dsp, but I was looking for a sketch that would make it work, then I came across the Deconstructed Sketch this week and hey presto, this came together...


I started by stamping the tree with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla then punched it out with a 2 1/2" circle punch. I cut the other circles from the dsp using the Circles #2 die as well as some circle punches. The panel in the background is Soft Suede embossed with the woodgrain EF, then layered on Crumb Cake card and overlaid with a lattice die-cut. I added a ticket greeting (from a new set coming in the Spring catty) punched with the ticket punch, then a wood button with some linen thread. Three little button brads (from Vintage Trinkets) in the corner finished things off.

While I thought masculine for these colours, the Dynamic DT have come up with a variety of masculine and beautifully soft and feminine projects  - check them out by visiting their blogs on my sidebar!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, whatever you are up to.

Thanks for stopping by...

    This is such a nice, masculine card, Amy! The woodgrain background is a perfect match for the image, as well as the buttons (big & little)!

    Amy, this is awesome! Love how you used the sketch and the mix of the woodgrain embossing is perfect with the stamped image. That has quickly become one of my favorite sets! :)

    Love your differing circles going off the card and your eye gets pulled back to the tree with the button detail. x
