Yet another simple tree card!

Sorry about the lack of posts - I tried and tried to get this picture to upload and had to give up due to lack of time. Oddly, it posted immediately this morning!

I found this card – I’d forgotten I’d made it. It’s really simply (hmmm, most of my cards are, aren’t they?) and suitable for a man. Looking at it, it’s probably the card that gave me the idea for a chocolate-themed cardmaking event. I’m going to get cracking over the summer and book some halls for more events, so watch this space.

Cardstock: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla

  4. Simple? I'd say stunning and wonderful. Makes me want some chocolate covered toffee. And I'm so stealing the chocolate cards idea.

  9. I love this card Helen. Really like everything about the layout - but especially the corner treatment with the twine. Corners often seem empty to me, but don't like to make then too fancy - this is perfect.
