I like the original but wanted to make it cleaner, with fewer layers, and I wanted to make the tree colors more natural. So I used markers to color the stamp. Since markers are not waterproof, I used rhinestones rather than stickles, which can make marker ink run and look messy. I really do prefer this stamp colored this way!
I used the SU scallop border punch and put pink rhinestones in each scallop. The original has five layers of CS; this one has two. All the rhinestones make it so sparkly and help reinforce the sentiment, I think. The sentiment, BTW, is from Papertrey's Out on a Limb set.
Thanks for looking!

I love your changes - even though the original is pretty too! But I'm a sucker for bling so am loving the gemstones scattered among the flowers and down your scalloped edge! Wonderful!
