Freshly Made Sketches #22 - Lovely as a Tree

This week's Freshly Made Sketch appealed to me.  Perhaps it's because I'm a bean counter and I like balance LOL.

Here is the sketch:

Even though I intended to, I didn't end up adhering strictly to the sketch.  My 3 panels ended up almost the same size, with the center panel only fractionally larger than the side ones.  I also didn't put a sentiment on the front because I thought it looked busy enough with the ribbon and brads. The main layer is propped up on dimensionals.

Here is my card:

After I brayered and stamped, I spritzed the cardstock with water to give it a slightly mottled look.
