The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 CHNC - 21st May

The optional twist at CHNC for this week is Include a Tree or Two or More.  

I have used a tree themed digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  I also added a tree patterned wide ribbon.  The image is from Digital Delights and the sentiment is a clear or rubber stamp (not sure of the brand as I had stamped it a few years back and not used it).  Colouring is with copic markers.

Happy Birthday!

 I've had a productive crafting day today as there wasn't much that I could do outside with the weather.  This is the third card that I crafted today:

Tulip in black and purple
