Hi all!  It's time for day 2 of MFT Teaser Time and I have a clean and simple card for you today using the new stamp set, Inspired by Trees.  Sometimes, more realistic stamps with lots of detail can be scary.  I like to take a different approach to them and stamp them in a solid color, like white, brown, black etc.  


Here, I stamped the tree in brown craft ink and left the details simple, to allow the stamp to shine.



I added some machine stitching to add detail to the otherwise simple card.  The two Fishtail Flags were cut from patterned vellum.



I used the Mini Scallop Edge to make a dainty and unassuming border.  The tree was cut out using the Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics.
