The Steps in Creating the Card
(click on the first image to view as a slideshow)
- This is my Favourite and most used Cutting File of Lavinia's, I have so much fun with this. I have used this in so many projects
- Here I have cut out four of the trees - choose which size you would personally like, then ink them in your favourite colours
- Now, at this point you can have even more fun, I stamped Lavinia's Green Man on the centre of my trees
- I used a bone folder to fold in half
- All Trees are equally folded in half and stamped with the Green Man
- Use a good quality Glue to glue the trees together, then use a paper clip to keep them in place.
- Just fluff out the leaves
- As you can see, it stands up perfectly on its own, or you can flatten the back and attach to a card or canvas etc.
- Over the next few days, I will be posting up photos in the Lavinia Facebook groups showing completed projects with this tree to give you some ideas what to do with it
I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial, and maybe have a go yourself.
Have Fun.
