Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #8






I have been wanting to make another button tree card for awhile, since making this one some time ago. I absolutely adore pink trees and really want to put a flowering crabapple tree in our back yard. Unfortunately, they get quite big and our yard is small. AND we have already planted four trees back there...but I think we may be able to get just ONE more back there ;).


This picture is of the tree right outside my office window at work. I am not sure what type it is, but it's lovely. It blooms a beautiful bright pink then fades to almost white. It could be a flowering crabapple for all I know!

Needless to say, my card was inspired by my love of pink trees (and Dawn McVey's colour challenge of course!!).

Thanks for visiting!

  10. Hey, I just got your nice comment, thanks you. So funny, I tried to leave you a comment the other day, but I wasn't logged into wordpress. Anywhoooo, I was gonna say that I love those pink buttons on that tree. Also, my husband grew up in Calgary. He was just there visiting, and enjoying a Peter's hamburger and some Silver Dragon. What a small world!!
