Summer Treehouse Card

Hello! Today I’m inspired by the Trinity Stamps Crafty Troop Challenge (the theme is summer) to create a summer card using the new Treetop Adventures stamp & die, paired with the Marshmallow Alpha dies, Slimline Card Series Scalloped Card Panels die set and the Slimline Series Great Outdoors Borders & Builders die sets.  The Treetop Adventures stamp set is so adorable and I immediately fell in love with it!

I die cut all the images from the Treetop Adventures stamp set with the coordinating die set and then spent the most time coloring all the images in with copic markers.  I used 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I used the following copics G43, G46, YG61, E37, E35 & E44 for the tree, E44 and gold acrylic paint for the house, BG13 & B000 for the banners, BG13, B000, YR21, Y21, E000 & YR01 for the kids.  It is easier to see in the photo below that I used a light layer of gold paint for the treehouse itself.

cbkAug12-1 I die cut a light blue cardstock panel with the Slimline Card Series Scalloped Card Panels die set for the card panel and splattered 2 types of gold acrylic paint onto it to give it a dreamy look.  I added glitter paster to several parts of the tree (see above).  I die cut grass and a white picket fences with the Slimline Series Great Outdoors Borders & Builders die set out of 110lb cardstock in white and green. Finally, I die cut adhesive gold cardstock with the Marshmallow Alpha dies to create the sentiment. cbkAug12-3
