My inspiration came from the pillow on the bed in the inspiration picture. I loved the contrast of the darker green tree on the light green pillow. I pulled in the colors from the rest of the bedding to finish the card.
The tree stamp is from Penguin Pants Rubber Stamps. The tree was clear embossed by inking the stamp with Versamark and then with Warm Green ColorBox Chalk Ink. The heart was filled in with colored pencils and then a layer of Sakura glitter pen was added for a little sparkle.

Wow -- that was cool that you picked the pillow as your inspiration. I actually had to go back to the picture to find it. Very observant of you! Neat tree!
