Red Palm Tree??

Photo Details

Poster: StampinChrissylea

I just couldn't bear to break from the color scheme by making the tree green. Call it artistic freedom...I tried to make the background look weathered woody..I just did it with the edges of my inkpads.

Very cool! The BG looks like some of the weathered island houses I've seen.

That is so cool and thanks for sharing how you created that background! I was trying to figure out if you did it with a brayer and how and then read your description. Very ingenious!
