Palm Tree Stand out in a crowd Card

Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Simple Salutations Challenge #9 Your Choice.

Created this Clean and Simple (CAS) Card with monochromatic colors.


Used MFP Flamingos on Vacation Palm Tree image & sentiment "Stand out in a crowd!" Stamped the Palm Tree on white cardstock. Colored the Palm Tree using green markers. Fussy cut the Palm Tree. Stamped the sentiment directly on the base of the card at top center. Embossed the base with Cuttlebug Palm Leaves embossing border folder. Used foam adhesive to give the Palm Tree dimension.

Photographed near my Mini Magnolia Tree in my backyard.
