Whoo's In the Tree?

Today is the 15th, so it's time for the Dueling Darlings to show their stuff. If you aren't familiar with the Dueling Darlings, we are a group of online friends who have fun creating cards, using kits provided by a hostess each month. The Dueling Darlings is two teams - the Divas and the Dazzlers. I am a Dazzler.

This month we're doing something a bit different than our normal thing, though. Since we now have an uneven number of Darlings, Melina was the lone hostess... so instead of sending kits, she's issued each group a challenge. As a Dazzler, my challenge is to create a card with the theme of trees and to include patterened paper somewherre on the card.

I thought and I thought... and at first was going to use my Stampin' UP! Lovely as a Tree stamp set. Then I decided to make my own tree. Tee Hee!!!

Here's my card:

I took a piece of brown card stock and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder to create the "bark" to make up the tree on my card. It was such fun!

Here's the inside of my card:

I added a piece of the "bark" inside, too, but later thought maybe I shouldn't have done that. Oh well, the glue was permanent. LOL!


Now, who wants to see what the other Dueling Darlings created? I know I do.
