I embossed different tree images onto some script papers from this gorgeous pad. This is a lovely pad with a great range of colours and really nice quality and thick papers. I did two darker backgrounds with gold embossing and two lighter with a metallic copper EP. I added a little shading at the edges with Vintage Photo DI before mounting onto chocolate brown die cut nestie circles. I mounted the circles onto 4 x 4 kraft card blanks I made and added the "merci" sentiment from the Pretty Poppies plate stamped in Coffee archival ink.
If you haven't investigated these new clear stamps from CB, do have a look. I found these trees brilliant to use, not least because the index sheet allowed me to play about thinking out layouts before stamping landscapes. The storage folders which have little tabs which can be kept in ring binders are also proving very popular, so much so they can be bought separately too.

Absolutely beautiful & a super idea with the neutral colours. The script paper adds such a lovely background & your inked edges add a real sense of 'vintage photo' to the whole feel of these. A very classy idea indeed.
