For this week's earth tone wtui challenge. After a messy project like gel printing, watercolors, stenciling, I make a practice to mop up the excess pigments from my craft mat with white or off-white card stock. This bg is from my bin of bg panels, collecting extras, rejects, experiments. I cut the tree die from a black scrap of xyroned cs, attached it to the panel, trimmed and then stamped the verse, and voila!

What a perfect background for your die cut tree, Brenda! The combination of colors, framing, and scripture verse make a striking statement. Thanks so much for adding this gorgeous card to our Earth Day gallery!

Ha, I made a card last week with my mopped-up leftovers. Yours was just perfect for the challenge, and suits the bare tree, too - a real late autumn feel.

Aren't those mop backgrounds wonderful! I'm getting quite a collection, too. You have really put this one to good use. The silhouette die cuts are the perfect way to highlight a stunning background!
