Sunshine & Trees

Good Morning all, i hope you are having a good week, being half term its busy for me with visitors.

Today im sharing 2 cards i made using layered leaf dies that i also thought looked like trees once made up.

6x6 cardblank.  I first cut my 'trees' from orange/red brusho cardstock and the top layer from gold mirror card and glued together.  I cut white card slightly smaller than the cut front and die cut the circle burst from it to act as the sun and lightly inked the edges in blue.  I mounted this with 3d foam over a sheet of yellow paper.  From green patterned paper i die cut 2 curved border panels to act as grass/hills.  Stamped greeting. 

Little birds die cut from the same card as my trees base layers. 

A close up showing how i left the edges of the 'trees' free and only glued the centres,  i slightly bent them up to add dimension.

I then made a version for my sister in laws birthday in her colours of blues and greens.  This time i cut them from card coloured with distress oxide inks and the top layer with silver mirror card. 

Close up, the colours are brighter than the photo shows up.
