I'm a few days behind on my "homework" for the on-line class A Cut Above. The first day touched on ways to make your own card embellishments using die cuts:
I know - pretty simple! At first I thought about adding a bunch of really small die cut hearts to all of the trees but decided it looked too busy. Then I got the idea to use the embossed heart border as "grass" and somehow one heart on the largest tree looked just right:)
Materials Used: Hero Arts My Happy (sentiment), Magenta Abstract Orchard, Stampin' Up cs, Sizzix/SU Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, Sizzix/SU Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Clearsnamp Seaglass pigment ink, Versafine Smokey Grey pigment ink, W R Memory Keepers Corner Rounder
I'm entering this in the CAS-ual Fridays Opposites Attract challenge:
Thanks for all your lovely comments!

It's wonderful, Robin! Love your heart grass, and you're right - the one heart on the tree is perfect!
I so love your embossed "grounds" here, Robin! The design is superb (as always)!! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
So cute, love the heart grass!
I love that you didn't do a bunch of cutouts on this afterall. It's nice and clean- perfect :)
Oh what a wonderful card, Robin! I can see you will be a natural in this class. Didn't sign up for it this time; can't keep up with them.
How stinkin' cute is that. I love the heart "grass" and the scene you put together. Made me smile!!
Love this Robin! Don't you just love these on line classes! They always inspire me. Can't wait to see more! Have fun!

Adorable card, Robin!
Oh my goodness--I LOVE this one, Robin! BTW, I prominently feature the cards you've sent me in my dining room! Aren't I weird? But they are so special to me!
This is so pretty Robin and you are right - it doesn't need anything else!
I love your beautiful design Robin and that "heart grass" is totally precious!
