I really wanted to try this card style & I needed a card for my brother's birthday. Since he bought an acreage a couple of years ago and started planting, he has become the "tree man". So, I used as many tree related images that I could fit in. Of course, I had to start with that big oak tree on the front. The small blank square on the bottom right is for writing in.
The images are stamped in black and then coloured with pencil crayons. Then I sponged the edges with Really Rust to match the paper and soften the edges. I love how it turned out.

This is a beauty. You're brother will love it. I like how you switched up the folds on the shutter card. It suits a full center image like the tree much better.

Beautiful!
