This was done because, I happened across this neat card in Trudy's gallery this morning and I instantly thought of this branch which is one of the newest stamps in my room and then thought you could use your ink pads to watercolor it. ( so, it became a very rare trio of challenges in one from me)
The watercolor paper has a wash done from an SU soft sky ink pad on it, and the branch & sentiment were stamped with the versafine then water colored with the distress Oxides. Other changes besides the stamps are I have less layers using a stitched edge die instead of another color of cardstock for framing. Trudy, I hope you like this and enjoy your week. There is a closer look at the leaves on the blog here. ladies thanks for these challenges & tfl.

Fabulous, Stacy. Your w/c of those tiny areas of the gingko looks so good. I would think that would be hard to do. Great sentiment for these times too!

100% so far, but just barely a couple times. Luv your branch - how you managed to keep the ink witin the boundaries of each leaf is a mystery - great work!
