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!

GREAT card, Leisa. It caught my eye right off. Most cards for men are dark colors and I really like how you brightened this one up. It's sure to make his day.
Fantastic brayering technique, btw. You're a real PRO!
