Geometric Trees

Last night, I came across the Addicted to CAS challenge blog, and saw that they have a really interesting challenge going on at the moment.

The moment I saw the code word, I just knew I had the perfect stamp for it. So, I decided to make a CAS card and enter the challenge!

I started by creating my base out of MFT's Sweet Tooth cardstock by cutting and scoring it in half for a standard A2 card. I then cut a panel of white cardstock to measure 4 by 5 1/4".

I used Sweet Stamp Shop's retired set Fall Gratitude to stamp out some fabulous geometric trees and corresponding trunks. I drew a line in pencil to make sure all the trunks were even, then erased it after the ink was dry.

For the sentiment, I used Simon Says Stamp's Giving Thanks stamp set. I also stamped a little orange bird for an extra punch of color.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card base with foam tape.
