Tree-Mendous Inspired Sketch Challenge

This card is for Beate's inspiration challenge, the World Card Making Day challenge to use trees, and Beate's weekend sketch challenge. I started on Beate's inspiration earlier in the week, but all I managed to come up with was the tree branch and the buttons. I set it aside until today. Once I saw the other two challenges, the rest of the card came together quickly.

Stamps: Out on a Limb (PTI)
Paper: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Hawaii Papaya dp
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: scallop edge punch, Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes, buttons (Oriental Trading Co.), dimensionals
