I used a different Penny Black Tree (although I do have and love the one she used!), I used 3 Distress Markers to color my stamp (Iced Spruce, Forest Moss and Gathered Twigs) spritzed with water and then pressed into a panel of watercolor paper in my stamp platform.
I splattered paint around the background instead of water coloring it.
The tree is so large that I just made it a full 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel and sponged the edges with Ranger Distress Iced Spruce. I added acrylic dots from Altenew for ornaments and a Metalic Sticker for the sentiment.
Congrats to you Kia! Enjoy your week in the FS gallery!

Julia, I love the tree you used and how you coloured it. Really like the splattered background and pretty ornaments. Wonderful card and case.
Hugs..Pat

This is stunning Julia ... I love this tree and don't think I have seen it before. Love the colours you used and how the card has that vintage feel. Thank you so much for this honour.
We are sitting next to one another in the FS gallery and we both feature trees. Totally different trees but still. Caught my eye! Your tree is so elegant! Beautiful background and you used one of my favorite Christmas sentiments.
