This card will be entered into the Papertrey Ink's Challenge #5, to spring into action, to use a stamp that has not seen ink, or is less used.
I think this is the very first time I have used this tree stamp, it is gorgeous!!! It is from the Through The Trees stamp set.
I created a window by using Spellbinders Lacy Square dies. The tree is stamped in a 2 step process. When stamping the leaves I used the 'thumping technique'. After I inked the leaves up with Always Artichoke ink I 'tapped/thumped' on a couple of different colors using a Copic Marker, then 'huffed' over the stamp to re-moisten the inks and stamped the leaves. I also stamped the small tree image on a sweet little tag and tied it all together with a little Jute Twine.
Here's a closer look at the window.
I am praying my new computer cord arrives soon.....I am 'firing up' my old computer by waving a chicken bone over it and saying a prayer....so far so good.....eek!
Thanks for coming by!
Enjoy~~
