The background was stamped with one little berry branch stamped multiple times to make it look like a tree. I used watercolor paper for the main panel.
I made the medallion as cracked glass, and all the berries are dotted with clear laquer. Once the lacquer dried, I was able to sponge the baja breeze over them like emboss resist. Of course, had to wipe off with a tissue so the lacquer wasn't coated with ink.
The DP is from Basic grey urban prairie, and the ribbon is vintage spun twill from www.cdstamps.com.
The stamps are a sneak preview for Dec. 1 www.cdstamps.com release

Laurie, this is beautiful! From the complimentary colors to the repeat stamping for the tree, and your circle sentiment...it is beautifully balanced! Lovely!
