I made this for today's sketch challenge. It will go to a gentleman at church who has been sick for a while now.
The background behind the tree is brayered, which is so fun and easy to do. Thanks again, to Michelle Zindorf for her classes. I used my new Autumn Meadows DSP...LOVE it! I also used the champagne shimmer paint on some of the leaves...but, OF COURSE, it doesn't show up in the picture. It gives it a soft golden shimmer IRL, though.
I like how this one turned out. Hope you do, too. TFL!

Leisa, what a beautiful blend of papers/colors you've pulled together for your card. Perfectly musculine and perfectly amazing. Your coloring is fabulous too.
