Easy, right? I spent hours on my card trying to get it looking right - it took 8 attempts to get the tree. The first seven times I couldn't get good ink coverage and in the end I colored the stamp with a marker and spritzed with water to give it a deliberately mottled look.
I just received some PTI goodies in the mail on Friday and I was determined to use my new In the Meadow set. I used this week's sketch from Verve as my layout. The sentiment is embossed with Pewter EP, which is such a gorgeous color.
Thanks for visiting. If you haven't already checked out the rest of the design team's inspiration, make sure you do - they are awesome!
