The challenge this week at Less is More is to make a clean and simple card using paper piecing...placing paper(colored, patterened...) over a stamped image for more interest. Here's what I made...
I used a stamp that I fell in love with when I went to the Stampotique site recently. They have some very diverse stamps, ...when I looked through their site, I found this tree(Tree Tile) that when I look at it...I just LOVE it!!! The possibilities are endless...fall, spring, bright and happy colors...black and white...oh my...BUT I thought about it only with paper piecing...cause I really don't color!! THEN...I found this sentiment at Stampotique too, that I thought went perfectly with my pretty tree! A friend of my daughter's asked last night what the sentiment meant...hmmmm...I thought it would be obvious....but let me tell you what it means to ME. Just like the trees, when the strong breezes or storms of life hit us, our roots have to be deep to weather the winds....and the cool thing is that as we weather the winds/storms, we become stronger for them...strong breeze makes strong trees...profound and deep. Well...used three different greens and a dark brown for the trunk. Used onyx liquid pearls to accent the dots of the leaves...
Layered on bazzill gray card. Another wonderful challenge...thanks ladies!!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa

This is a lovely card, Lisa. I like the way the tree on its white background pops off the grey card.
