The leaf stamp that goes with this set didn't make the tree full enough, so I used my little stamp from Watercolor Minis to fill in . Thank you, Kittie, for the idea and many samples to help me. The Old Olive layer is stamped using the Rough Edges wheel in Old Olive. To soften the effect, I stamped this with Vanilla Craft usoing the Linen BG stamp. The Buckaroo Blue layer is stamped first in Print Pattern using Buckaroo Blue Classic ink, then overstamped with Linen using Vanilla Craft. I stamped the Naturals white layer in Close to Cocoa using the Linen stamp before I started creasting my trees and background details. I used Pastel to color the sky and background behind tyhe trees. I enjoyed doing this!

WOW! Beautiful! Thanks for your description! I looked at this pic a long time. I ordered this set just today and only hope that I will be able to do something as wonderful as this!
Carole, This is gorgeous. It looks like you added branches to your trees before you added your leaves. I love the addition of the white flowers on your tree. Great layout.
