I didn't have the stamp I needed so I told myself just to get over my conviction that I can't draw and I drew my own olives (with a little help from a stamped image that was too small and a photograph of a real olive branch for guidance) - yay me!

It certainly looks to me that you can draw very well! I was put off years ago after spending ages trying to draw a horse for a Sunday school class and being told very kindly that my donkey was quite good.
The black enamel dots are the most perfect little echo of the olives!

Joanne, your olive branch is wonderfully rendered! You've really achieved beautiful dimensionality and the colors are perfect. The BG is lovely as well. What a great card!
