This picture doesn't do this card justice. I'll try to upload a better picture later. My Dad is turning 80 this week and this is the card I made for him. It s was made on glossy paper. I used a Magenta tree stamp. I love trees and leaves and this is one of my favorite tree/leaf stamp. After I stamped the tree, I took a white crayon and highlighted some of the leaves and branches. Then, I took several Distress Ink pads: gathered twigs, festive berries, ripe persimmon, peeled paint and spiced marmalade with a dauber and dabbed some of the ink on and around the tree. After it dried a little, I wiped the wax from the crayon off with a tissue and kind of buffed the whole image. This makes the whole card pop. I used a Printworks collection stamp for the word Dad and used the same technique.
