Hello, friends!
Today's challenge over at Bitten By the Bug, called for something made using trees. Well, since it is summer time and I wish I was somewhere tropical, I did palm trees!
I used the Artbooking and Summer Love cartridges for this one. I thought it would be fun to make it look a little like a post card. To do this, I glued all of the pieces together before I added it to the card. I added it to the A2 size card front at a jaunty angle. Then, trimmed off the parts that went over the edge.
As embellishments, I used some stickers from the Seaside Compliments sheets.
If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut No Worries card
If you do not have an Explore, here are the sizes: palm trees (Summer Love) - 4 1/4"
sun (Artbooking) - 1 3/4"
frame (Artbooking) - 5 1/4"
waves (Artbooking) - 1"
