Guest Designer Inspiration for Relatively Thoughtful - My Family Tree

 

I'm back today with my second Guest Designer card for Relatively Thoughtful.

For today's card I've used the 'My Family Tree' paper collection.  It's available here as a digital download and here if you'd like to the paper collection posted to you.

Here's another view of my card:

I printed out three of the papers and made a scrappy strip card - I layered the papers on to white card and by leaving a small gap between the strips I think it helps the papers pop so you can see the different patterns.

I used some dark brown paper to separate the base layers and also to die cut the layer under the sentiment label.  My sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up.

Make sure you join the RT Create, Make and Share Facebook Group for lots more inspiration from the Design Team!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

As You Like It Challenge - plain or patterned papers (I love my patterned papers to enhance a stamped or digi image but also to make backgrounds like this card)
