Made this for a workshop I had. The trees were stamped with basic black and colored with sponge daubers in various fall colors: ruby red, really rust, more mustard, etc. The sky was colored with bashful blue and the grass with always artichoke.
The background was done with the Rough Texture Jumbo Wheel in True Thyme ink on True Thyme cardstock. The main image was matted on close to cocoa cardstock, and is "framed" with the little leaves from the Lovely as a Tree set, done in chocolate chip ink. The sentiment is from Warm Words, and was stamped in Chocolate Chip. It too was daubered over in an attempt to distress it a little bit. It's punched with the small oval punch and mounted onto the larger oval in close to cocoa cardstock. All layers were distressed using the way cool new distressing tool.

Sure looks like a watercolored print. The way you mixed the colors with the dauber is terrific! Great distressing on the edges adds to the fall theme. Really a lovely card in all ways.
