I decided to have a little fun with paint on this card. Once my card layout was completed, using beautiful paper's from Authentique's Thankful line, I got to work on creating my tree. I used the Tree Background stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy to stamp the branches in Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Then I grabbed a few Adirondack Paint Dabbers, poured the paint on a paper plate, got an old toothbrush and went to town with creating "leaves" for the tree! I dipped the toothbrush in the paint and then pounced the toothbrush up and down on the paper to get little splotches of color. Abstract, no? Once the paint was dry I just added the sentiment, from the Amazing Grace stamp set, and a few pearl embellishemnts.
Supplies:
Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy
Paper: Authentique (available from eclectic Paperie, along with ink and paint)
