Lazy Days Tent Card

Happy Saturday, everyone! There are only a few hours left to sign up for my Cricut cart giveaway! Click HERE to enter. The giveaway ends at midnight EST. I will announce the winner sometime tomorrow :)

I love learning new card techniques. Erika at Crafty Sprouts has an awesome video with a tutorial on how to make a tent card. After watching, I had to try one! I am also linking this card at Rebecca's blog The Crafting Misfit for her new Show and Tell feature!

 

I love this tree from Heritage. It just screamed that it needed a swing hanging from it's sturdy branches. I made a swing with twine and a toothpick. I positioned the hole in the card behind the swing so there is plenty of room for it to swing back and forth. I used the Tim Holtz woodgrain folder for the trunk of the tree. I sanded it and then added walnut distress ink to bring out the texture. I ran the leaves through a Sizzex embossing folder (not sure of the name of this one) and inked the edges with walnut distress ink. I adhered the leaves with foam tape to give some dimension.
