I LOVE this! How did you get the different colors on the trees?! What exactly is "thump and huff" - I know the huffing is when you breathe on your stamp that you've inked with markers.

Thump and huff is a technique shared by another member recently (sorry, I don't remember who it was). You ink up the stamp with a light colored ink (I used Creamy Caramel). Then, you "thump" different colored markers around on the stamp where you want the colors to show. Don't thump too hard though or you'll mush your marker tip all out of shape. I kind of used the edge of the brush tips of the Summer Sun, Old Olive, and Ruby Red. Then, "huff" on the stamp to make sure the ink is all moist and stamp. Have fun!
