Count Your Blessings


I decided to do a throw down challenge card, and use

  •  and the first stamp I saw in my craft room (which happened to be this a tree stamp because it was still on my table from the last card I made)

If you tend to overthink your cards like I do, you should try a throw down challenge too! Grab a sketch, pick 3 colors, and reach into your stamp box with your eyes closed.  See what happens, you may be pleasantly surprised!

This card took 11 minutes from start to finish...

Tree stamp: B1319 Four Sesons

  4. Thank you for the comments.
    Trish - I should have mentioned in my post. First I sponged Honey ink onto a square of white cs, then I masked off the moon with a circle, and sponged the terracotta ink over the whole square, then stamped the tree in new england ivy. Then I tore a scrap of paper in the shape of the hill, and masked the scene, then I sponged new england ivy ink to make the hill. When done, I cut the square into 4 equal tiles, then mounted it onto a card blank. Easy peasy...
