I have been dreaming of trying to put this basket on an old garden table out in a yard. I decided to try it tonight and here's what I got. I got the whole thing finished and then got a big blob of dark brown ink in the left upper corner so I had to cover it with the ribbon down the side. I'm afraid I'm going to wear out my little fern stamp in Watercoor Minis. I made the greenery, tree leaves and all the little flowers with that stamp. I free hand painted the tree and the table and then used Chocolate Chip marker to draw in some lines and also used my old faithful Itty Bitty BG to add texture.

WOW...WOW...and one more WOW!! This is so beautiful! It reminds me of a watercolor class I once took! I never would have thought of using that stamp to do all that! What a cool idea! What a wonderful job of free hand painting!
