While this card uses a mixture of techniques it isn't that difficult to do.
First I stamped the Oak Tree in StazOn Timber Brown onto the Gloss CS, highlighted parts of the tree with a white crayon and then sponged the inks onto it in a circular motion, until happy with the colours. I then cut it out with the CM cutting system and blue blade used the red blade for the Old Olive mat. I stamped the Oak Leaves in StazOn Timber Brown onto Old Olive CS, coloured it in with Watercolour Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter and cut it out, leaving a small border.
I covered up the top half of the Natural base card with scrap paper and stamped the Crackle stamp over the bottom with StazOn Timber Brown ink. I covered the 'join' with the Chocolate Chip ribbon, laid the Tree piece over it and then the Leaves over that. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Natural CS, cropped it close, rounded the corners and inked the edges with StazOn Timber Brown. On the top right hand side, I marked the triangle pattern and pierced it with the Pergamano tool.

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
