this morning i made a quick clean & simple card for this week's cas-ual fridays challenge - the challenge for the week is to creatively use letters. my card features a quick way to use up some of those leftover letter stickers.
to make sure that the sentiment was placed just where i wanted it i traced the outline of the tree onto cardstock. then laid down all the stickers and die-cut the tree.

paper: [on the bright side - one 6x6 paper pad] my mind's eye
stickers: [ledger, teal & black mini market stickers] october afternoon, [life of the party micro mono stickers] basicgrey

fiber: [ivory thread] mettler
paint: [salty ocean/tim holtz distress paint, sunset orange/adirondack brights] ranger
steel dies: [tree/floral foliage die] papertrey ink, [medium scallops] a muse studio
