Echo Park that is!!! I just recently got some new Echo Park papers and they are having a contest on their Facebook page. Perfect!! Of course you have to get the courage up to actually CUT that gorgeous paper.
There are a lot of colorful prints in this collection, but I decided to take a different approach.
This is a 5.5" square card cut from a 8.5x11" cardstock {cut at 5.5" and score at 5.5"}
I cut a mat from Kraft {7.75"} and another {7.5"} I wanted to add depth to the kraft papers. The bottom layer is inked with brown and the top inked with a pale pink

Top kraft mat was zigzag stitched with my sewing machine to create a border
I used TPC for the brown squares {2.25"} then the ECHO PARK blue {2"} on top x4
Laid them out, which now looks like a window, and adhered with my ATG
Cricut cut is from "Just Because" Cards. {4"....keep reading}
This was a little tricky. The layers are set to cut in porportion to the base layer, which on this cart is the card shape. So when I told the machine to cut it 4" it actually looked about 1.5". I used the REAL DIAL button to cut the tree out {4"} but when I went to cut the layers for the tree tops, they also cut at a REAL 4" ....too big! So, trial and error, I ended up cutting this image at 8" which in real size is 4"
I used TPC and AC for the solid colors, ECHO PARK for the green tree top. I liked how the pink looks like berries or flowers in the tree
I added some bakers twine to the tree swing
