Unstampabelles #5 - Trees

Morning everyone, a new week and a new challenge over at Unstampabelles.
Firstly, I just want to say thanks to everyone who entered.  We had 33 beautiful Autumn/Fall entries that did not use one stamp.  Such wonderful papercraft creations - cards, boxes, and decorations.

Now on to our new challenge - 
you will receive a bonus entry if you can add paper punches or dies to your paper creation.

Any form of paper creation will be accepted as long as NO STAMPS have been used.
So quilling, parchment, stickers, boxes, books, cards, scrap pages, etc
You can find our rules here for further information.


Our sponsor this week is CMD CARDS

Cherryn has a variety of beautiful paper punched shapes and other items available in her store.
This month CMD Cards are offering a $10.00 gift certificate to spend in their store.

Now a little about my card.  I started with my plain white card then a layer of Stampin Up Baja Breeze next this lovely patterned paper from a magazine giveaway.  The tree trunk I cut by hand and have used DCWV Textured paper same as the top half of the tree.  For top of the tree I cut to scalloped edged circles with my Spellbinders.  Then I used my little flower paper punch to punch out the flowers on the green cardstock.   Then I layered the green over the rust coloured circle.  I added a little white (leftover) sticker to the centre of each flower.  I have added these lovely punched butterflies from CMD Cards. For the sentiment I have used two Stampin Up punches and then added the lovely white sticker sentiment.

Wishing you all a terrific Monday.  More gardening for me planned.  I managed to plant marigolds in my vegi garden on the weekend in hope to rid the soil of nematodes which destroy my tomatoes each year.  I saw a gardening show where this guy just mass planted marigolds in the off season and then dug them into the ground when he was due to plant his tomatoes.  Up the other end of the garden I have a couple of watermelon plants growing.  I added mulch and gave them all a good drink of seaweed liquid.  Will try to share some photos soon.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
