Shade Tree
I found a little time this afternoon to make a card for Sweet Stamp Shop’s UWYH Challenge, so thought I’d share! We are to make a double duty card (a card that works for more than one challenge)! I’m also submitting this card to the current Color Q challenge:
I used two different sets from Sweet Stamp Shop as I thought the sentiment went with the tree image quite well! You know…”shade?!” You have to love English as a language with all the different meanings one word can have! It’s no wonder it’s one of the more difficult languages to learn if it’s not your native language! Good grief!

I sponged ink in three colors onto the oval tree image in order to get the multi-colored look. The pearl heart was added just before popping up the entire tree with foam dots for dimension. I love trees this time of year that have a mix of colors on them! So pretty!
Laundry is the main theme for me this week! Seems I can’t quite keep up most days, but DS1 sometimes surprises me and processes a load or two! Love that! DD has been spending a fair amount of time in a Mei Tai wrap I have on hand as she still catnaps and fusses in the afternoons. This is the only way I can get things done on the days I have time sensitive things on the to do list! She seems to like it better than the first one I posted a picture of. It’s actually a bit more comfortable for me too now that she’s put on a little more weight!
Don’t worry! The straps are usually tied around her back rather than her shoulders, but I wanted to show you the cute embroidered design, a little baby bird in a nest!
