Woodsy Hello

 Hi!  It's a Public Holiday here in New Zealand today (Monday), so I had a chance to get into my craft room and make a card for a few challenges - something I don't get a chance to do often enough.

I was drawn to the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls and paired that with the sketch at The Paper Players and the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge where I went with Die-Cut...Twine...Trees/Woods.  I'm hoping that branches count as trees/woods?  

I created a bouquet of branches using a die from Concord & 9th as well as the Botanicuts:  Pussy Willow dies where I coloured the white die-cuts with Copics.  I tied the bunch with some twine and set it aside to work on the rest of my card.  I wanted to keep with the neutral tones of the photo and bring in the woodgrain and foliage as well as a black heart.  Patterned paper matted onto black cardstock worked for  the sketch elements and a hot-foiled and die-cut sentiment was added with foam tape.

Thanks for visiting!
