Rooted in Nature for Father’s Day and Hand Stamped Sentiments

We had so much fun looking at the creations you made for Hand Stamped Sentiments in the last challenge! Wonderful nautical designs!! Our next challenge is a sketch and we can’t wait to see what you do with it. I decided to break out the brand new Rooted in Nature bundle because I needed to make a Father’s Day card for my father, who lives in Atlanta. This is a must-have bundle! We all have someone who will appreciate the gorgeous trees in this set – and is esecially great for all of the men you know!!

My Secrets to Making This Rooted in Nature Project

• I tried to balance the four, smaller tree elements in the sketch by adding the large tree on the left side. The smaller trees anchor the right side.
• When adding a third color (Crumb Cake for this card), it’s important to use it at least twice, which also adds more balance and symmetry to the card front.
