This is for the TSC challenge where SillyFilly asked us to use brown, 2 punches or nesties, ribbon or twine. I used a Lovely As A Tree image, stamped it in Tangerine Tango and thumped the image with an Early Expresso marker. I used 2 different sizes of nesties, embossed the bottom of the card and used tangerine tango ribbon. The senti was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white ep. I also did the Saran Wrap technique on the top of the card using Tangerine Tango ink and a plastic bag. It is really hard to see in the photo. I really liked how this one turned out.
What do you think?

Holy Smokes, you sure used a LOT of techniques on this one!! Love how the 'thumping' of your marker gave the tree extra depth and shading - the sarah wrap technique on the top with the white embossing and the textured bottom take this card to the heights - wonderful creativity!! LYMI

This is really cute Lesley. I like that thumping technique. I have never done that. I'm not one to try too many techniques. I like them on other peoples cards I just don't think of it when I'm making a card. I like the texture on the bottom too. great guy card.

What is thumpiing? Do tell! I learn so much from the Twisted Ones - like the saran wrap technique so I am anxious to learn thumping. This came out well - so masuline. Hugz!!
