I made this card for today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. Polly is our hostess this week and she has us making cards for a wonderful organization that sends these cards to patients who are dealing with cancer. For me, trees signify hope because they lose their leaves in the fall and without fail, their leaves come back in the spring. I also wanted to make a set of cards that work for men or women. Thank you Polly for this terrific challenge and thank you for bringing this organization to our attention too. This tree is stamped in 4 layers using different colors of ink to achieve this look. It is super easy to do and with a MISTI tool, very easy to mass produce as well. Thank you for looking today! ~Karen.

I just knew that had to be a KSS stamp - Lynn does such amazing cards with them and I see you do too. The green is a calming and positive colour and I agree, the tree does express hope - and continuity and strength. What a great card design for the TPT this week.

Wow Karen! Your mighty oak tree is glorious both in the colors you used in your multistamping and symbolism of strength!
