Grow Love Plant a Tree

Hi all and welcome to the MFT blog hop! Just happening along the blog hop? Then, you'll want to start over at Kim's blog HERE. Of course there is ALWAYS blog candy at the end, so you'll want to hop along the design team trail all the way to the end.

My card uses the set, Grow Love. I went a little stitch crazy and used stitches as actual "panels". I used a SFYTT by Jen del Muro. :) I ALMOST broke a rule by using white paper with cream colored patterned paper, but that was quickly remedied with an E50 Copic marker. I just colored the whole panel to make it cream. *whew* Crisis averted! I thread my button with paper slivers. It is very delicate, but adds a fun element to buttons. I also decided that since there so much stitching on my card, I would stitch around the tree. It's a nice simple shape, so it was pretty easy to do!
Here is a peek inside:
