For today's ATCs for All IC.
I made two cards, almost polar opposites to each other.
For this one, I was inspired by this Summer Whimsys ATC. It reminds me of a film, perhaps The Cat in the Hat?? Anway, I had a sort of scroll-y tree stamp, so I knew I was good to go.
I made the background with distress ink, stamped the tree, and used paint for the foreground. Shhh, don't tell DH that I borrowed the guide from his beard-trimmer to scrape the curved lines into it! Added white paint to make stripes on the tree, and then strategically covered all the leaves with pink circles punched from a scrap of Bazzill. It was a toss-up between using circles or cloud shapes, I think I'm happy circles won.
I used some old BG paper which seemed to suit it perfectly, and added a bird punched from a spare bit of the "sky".

As soon as I saw your whimsical tree, Dr. Seuss was the first thing that popped into my head! And then I read your description -- great minds think alike! Cute card!
