Less is More - Week 52 - Sketch

This week's challenge over at Less Is More is
For our challenge this week we have a SKETCH and we have a few basic ground rules.
We would like the card to be
  • rectangular
  • in landscape orientation
  • with the band remaining in a vertical position 
As it's a very simple sketch,  we would like it to remain as is without any rotation of either the card or the vertical band.
 
For my card I have used my Tall Trees stamp set by Elusive Images (now Chocolate Baroque).  I started off stamping half the tree onto black card with Versamark and heat embossed it with white detail e/p.  I then stamped the whole image onto my white DL card in black Versafine ink and heat embossed it using clear e/p.  I then placed the image on the black card over the one on the white DL card and made sure it matched up before sticking down.  The sentiment is from my Sincere Salutations which is a Stampin Up set - this was also heat embossed with clear e/p.

Thanks for dropping by.
