Inspired by others in this gallery. I stamped the tree on white cs, then colored using H20s and sponged desert sand over top (originally thought I would keep white, but when I came up with this card, I was too lazy to redo on Colonial White). On Colonial White, I stamped the leaf then sponged desert sand.

Very pretty. I like how the shades of brown/sand work together.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Would you be willing to explain the 'bubble embossing' technique with the UTEE? I have never heard of it but it's really cool looking!

I am not the original poster, but I am her twin so I can help you with Bubble Embossing.
The Bubble Embossing technique is in the CTMH spring idea book. You cover your image with Versamark and then pour on clear embossing powder (you can use regular, but UTEE is so much easier) and shake off excess. Heat just until the embossing powder starts to melt. Don't overheat otherwise, you will get a smooth finish.
