Through the Trees in One Layer

For once, I suspect that I blinged where I ought not to have blinged at all. But I still like this clean, one-layer card.

And the sentiment is utterly wonderful, don't you think?



Supplies
stamps: Through the Trees (PTI)
paper: PTI white
ink: versamagic
accessories: rhinestones (Hero ARts), Scor-Pal

I'm not bothered by the bling at all.

Just beautiful!

Donelda said...

This is the best tree ever!! I love how you grounded it with the score lines!!

Dixie said...

That sentiment is terrific. I like its placement on the card.

Jackie said...

I like the bling. It's understated and gives just a little something something to that side of the card. I, too, love how you grounded the tree with the embossed lines - perfect! Now I really want that stamp set!!!

Donna VW said...

Great card! I love the score lines and the sentiment. And I could go either way on the bling.

Rose Ann said...

This is so clean and beautiful, Susan!! I love your added score lines!

Kim Bergen said...

the colours are a lovely calming combination and the sentiment is a wonderful length. just balances at the bottom nicely!

Susie said...

I love it this way but I also believe I'd like without the bling. Yes, that sentiment is wonderful.

Bling or no bling this is still a fine example of your understatement. Following your blog (I'm a relative newbie) is helping me to question/tidy up my own style and that's a very good thing!

Shirley Davis said...

Actually, more than I've just written, your posts make me want to get to my craft table and try my own simpler style and that is an excellent change of direction!

Deb Neerman said...

Just once?!? LOL, I over-bling ... or under-bling regularly! You're doin' good!

LOVE the tree image and that beautiful sentiment.

I think the bling is just fine. And I propose that the past tense of bling should be blang. As in: bling/blang/have blung. Ha!

Corie said...

So sweet -- love it!!

Juanita said...

How wonderful, the score lines are such a nice subtle grounding for your tree.
I am ambivilant about the bling.

Susan Raihala said...

Angela, ROTFL! I bungled and blang when I shouldn't have blung.

Joan B said...

Beautiful job Susan.

I think the little bit of bling balances the card. If there's such a thing as "too much white", it might happen without that balance. Great card design.

Are you kidding me?! The bling adds more charater to this awesome design! Wonderful card. Very elegant.

This card makes me very secure in my purchase of "Through the trees" afew minutes ago. Thank you for such a tranquil card and the bling is perfect.

Very serene! A beautiful CAS card. I like the embellishments and scoring.

Rebecca said...

This set is so cool. I love what you've done here with a fabulous one layer card. And the score lines are so perfect. I'm bookmarking this card for my "someday" tree set!

Perfect simplicity. I like the two rows of scoring. We must be on the same wavelenght because just yesterday I made two cards with the smaller trees from this set and on both I used double score lines to accent the image.

I like the rhinestone accents. I think it helps to balance the large tree.
