When I saw the sketch, it reminded of the cards my daughter makes with stampscapes stamps. She would stamp branches for depth.
I got this set during Sale a bration, my first time to use it. This was the third try to get it like I wanted it.
Using template, sponged clouds. Started with water and grass along the edges. Stamped grass valley and trees.
Then mountains using Soft Suede and moving over to stamp two more mountains without reinking.
Stamped the HB, then limbs. TFL

What a beautiful landscape creation for your card Carolyn! I love the watercolour feel to it all. Thanks for making such an out-standing example for this week's card sketch.

Beautiful way to use this set and the leaves around the edges is Perfect, Carolyn! I find this stamp set to be too inky and had to re-do my first attempt...luckily I was able to just turn the cs over.
