I used a stamp from the Deep Red company called Winter Pines and colored it up with 3 different markers (2 SU! and 1 Tombow) and then spritzed it with water before stamping on my cardstock. I love the simple water colored look of these 3 pine trees clustered together! I die cut the panel out with a wonky stitched frame die from Gina Marie Designs and then added a die cut deer (Gina Marie Designs) that I sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink before pop dotting to my panel. I mounted this to a white card base and then added a piece of rustic jute and a tag from PTI's Tiny Tags.
Both of these challenges are open through next Monday the 24th, so check out all the beautiful inspiration from both teams and then play along with one or both challenges. You can find the CAS Mix Up info HERE and the CAS Watercolour info right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
