This new Tree Line die (DG745) is an all in one die. So I had to run it through the machine once to do the upper portion of the die for the teal leaves and then once through the die cutting machine for the lower portion with the tree trunks. So it did take a minimal amount of cutting to cut the tree trunks off of the leaves...but it was a simple feat. For me the fun of die cutting this card is choosing the papers. What to put with what to make the colors pop....etc. I have always enjoyed complementary color schemes. Colors that are opposite on the color wheel....blue and orange, red and green, purple and yellow....and the list goes on. In this case I used blue/green and yellow/orange which of course is another variation of complementary. The trunks were neutral and then I paste-embossed "Birthday Greetings" (LG704) in Matte Black Embossing Paste (DMBP) onto a metallic copper cardstock.
This creation would be perfect for a masculine greeting card...although I know several of my girlfriends who would enjoy receiving it too.

Love the funky tree trunks and tree tops. What a great way to use up that pattern paper. I do love the longer design of the oval die cut, so great for greetings.
