Brayered So Saffron ink at the top and bottom of a 4″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.

Used the direct to paper method and smeared Bordering Blue ink on the card stock to create some mountains using the corner of the ink pad.

Note:  All you need to do is make the suggestion of the elements.  🙂

Smeared Always Artichoke ink below the mountains using one edge of the ink pad.

Smeared Certainly Celery ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Smeared Old Olive ink on.

I wanted to add a bit of warmth to the scene so I added the warm color More Mustard using the edge of the ink pad.

Stamped the Branch Out tree 3 times using Basic Gray ink.

Extended the trunks of the trees with a Basic Black marker.

Stamped the Flowers from the Charming Set using Old Olive ink.

Colored the flowers in with a White Gel pen.

Stamped a few leaves in the trees with Old Olive ink.

Stamped the words stamp from the Charming set down the left side of the card stock using Basic  Black ink.

Added 2 Bordering Blue, 2 Whisper White and one Basic Black background panels and 4 silver Brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5 3/8″ square.

May you have the time to really enjoy your weekend.

Until my next post. . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Michelle
