Today I have one last project to show you using the NEW Art Philosophy cartridge which you can purchase by clicking here ==> Melanie's Close To My Heart website.
If you are needing just a little but more to push you over the edge to order it, perhaps I should mention that when you place an order of $50 or more in products and purchase the August Stamp of the Month set, Wicked, for just $5/$5.50, you’ll receive the My Acrylix® A Typeface A-size set FREE (a retail value of $6.95/$7.75). Think of this as two promotions in one—qualify for and purchase the discounted August Stamp of the Month set and we'll throw in a second stamp set FREE! It's Extra! Extra!
Also here are the pictures of the cuts on the cartridge as provided by Close To My Heart
On to today's project....
I think this image is actually a leaf, but I thought it would make a beautiful tree. I toiled and toiled over this card because I wanted it took have a clean and simple look with out it being dull.

| The paper is from Bella Blvd. |

| I cut the tree out at 4" and the shape it rests on at 4 1/2". The white strips are cut out at 1". |

| This sentiment is form one of the stamps in the bundle that comes with the cartridge. |
