I have been in awe of all the wonderful cards and projects being created using the Sheltering Tree stamp set, from the Occasions Catalogue.
For a while I wasn’t sure how I wanted to play with it.
As I looked at all the Autumn/Fall inspired ideas, I was drawn to the palette of orange … Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Tangelo Twist and sort of, Calypso Coral.
Then I had my ‘aha’ moment …. mangoes.
For those of us lucky enough to live in Queensland, we know that mangoes are out and about … and if you like them, you have had mango juices running down your chin and hands. (If you live in the Northern Hemisphere – you are not yet ready for cold, refreshing summer fruits!).
If you’re unlucky enough, they are falling off a neighbour’s tree and getting very, very ripe in this hot and steamy weather.
So … here is my take on Sheltering Tree …
P.S. This card was photographed on some Pumpkin Pie cardstock … it’s really not that ‘orange’.
