I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets for this Dare To Get Dirty challenge card for Lydia's first challenge. I inked up my tree with markers and misted slightly before stamping onto my tag. I reinked the stamp with markers again and mistedmore heavily again to stamp it onto my Mirror Image stamp then stamped the ink onto my tag below the main tree. I color washed the sky and around the reflected tree. I went back with marker scribbled on acetate picked up with my wet brush to add more detail back to my tree. I thought it looked a bit flat so I inked Canvas with Sahara Sand and added some texture over my image. I inked just the sentiment I wanted with Espresso and stamped it onto my tag. I added a jumbo eyelet and some mixed twines. I inked my ef with Espresso then embossed my extra tags and layered over my piece of placemat. I then wrapped some burlap string around.

Wow - I don't know where to start! First - it's such an awesome watercolor that I didn't even recognize that tree! It's so beautiful in the abstract! And I LOVE the texture stamp you added!
