Wishing Tree

Mornin' y'all!  I need to type fast because I think Daphne knows that I've finished my tea and she is more than ready to go out for her daily perambulation.  So let's get to it!


Once more I am playing around with some older, retired supplies even though I have four new stamp sets sitting on my table.  Let's start with the Just Add Ink sketch:


And then the Inkspirational word prompt:


And finally the AAA Colourful challenge that pulled it all together:




I honed in on the last three colors, which I read as Basic Black, Wild Wheat, and Calypso Coral, and that reminded me of the Softly Stippled DSP that I think was a Sale-a-Bration option a while back.  I inked up the tree image with markers so I could get a multicolored effect (RIP Stampin' Up markers), stamped a greeting right on my DSP and then added a few champagne Sparkle Gems to finish it off.

Okay, Daphne is doing the Care Bear Stare at me so I'd best take her for a walk.  Thanks to lots of fun challenges I may be back with a second card today, we shall see.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Rooted in Nature, Gather Together
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, markers in Basic Black, Wild Wheat, Calypso Coral
Paper:  Basic Black, Thick Basic White, Softly Stippled DSP
Accessories:  Nature's Roots dies, Dimensionals, Sparkle Gems
