This is a birthday card that I made for our friend Chris. I used Branch Out for the first time and this set is fantastic!
I stamped the tree image on natural white cs in close to cocoa. I stamped the foliage in old olive and kiwi kiss ink and the boots are stamped in basic black. I did actually stamp the tire swing, but I covered it with hemp twine and an antique brass jumbo eyelet. I stamped the Weathered bg (retired, sadly) on the baja breeze panel. The sentiment was punched out with the word window punch and then layered on the modern label punch.
Thanks for looking!

Great card! I love the way you got the boots to look so natural, leaning up against the tree! I also love your color choices as well as your use of the word window punch and the new modern lable punch! You've convinced me to get the modern lable punch now!! TFS!!
