This is in honor of Earth Day today, April 22, 2011. It also uses the VLVApr2011 sketch for week #3. I paper pieced the tree, used my Cricut and Cuttlebug. I put the scalloped border in my embossing folder backwards but it still gives it nice texture. The tree, main image and circles are popped up on pop dots. I hand cut the border. the sentiment was below the tree on the stamp. I carefully inked so I could put it beside the tree and make it fit in my oval. I used the Elegant Edges cartridge. I cut my base cardstock lengthwise instead of the normal @ 5.5 for something different. I also used Kraft as my base - took me out of my comfort zone a little!
The designer paper is from Sonborn that I got from Sam's Club.
