A recent order had the background stamp, Tree Rings in it and I decided to make something that didn’t use anything from the Daisy suite for a change!

I stamped the Tree Rings in early espresso onto very vanilla after stamping off once which gave a nice sepia look. I added a early espresso border and intended to use a pear pizzazz card base and the same color for my die cut. Except my father was making pasta and that meant that my big shot station was dismantled for 20 minutes – I craft in the kitchen! So I picked up the two cutouts I already had of the Happy Birthday thinlits dies (with the awesome multipurpose adhesive sheets already applied) – fresh fig and lemon lime twist and I was really happy with how fresh fig went with the combo. Lemon lime twist, not so much! So a quick change and a card designed somewhat by accident. And I must say that I absolutely ADORE the multipurpose adhesive sheets, they are so easy to use. The multipurpose glue with the sponge dauber on the silicone craft sheet works pretty well, but this was simple and I can’t see me using the sponge dauber method again. Unless I’m out of the adhesive sheets that is.
