The copper willow tree was so pretty I couldn't resist trying it for a masculine card. We have several male birthdays this month. I used versamark on the leaves only, embossed with copper ep and then used the early espresso marker on the trunk and branches. I had marked the panel lightly with a pencil, for placement of the stampamajig tool, so I would know where to stamp the second time. A mask was used to add the river rock area at the tree base, to ground it. Here's my inspiration. https://www.charlestongardens.com/in...uct&cname=Home Accessories,Wall Art, Plaques and Mirrors&pname=Copper Willow Tree

That is just gorgeous!! I've done the same thing stamping twice with the SAMJ, but never with embossing, and those copper leaves have a real wow factor.
