Time Out Challenge #246

It's time for another Inspired By Words challenge at Time Out.

The Chinese proverb says "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago  The second best time is now."  You can use any portion of this quote for your card.  I focused on the tree.


The background was colored through an MFT stencil with Distress Inks and the trees from Deep Red were stamped in the middle.  The sentiment is from Altenew's Wildflower Garden.  

Varada Sharma is the sponsor of this challenge and will award 2 $15 credits to her digital store.  For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team has made.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.
