This card doesn’t feel like “me” at all but I had a really good time making it anyway! Love these sketch challenges! It’s muted colors and distressed and that’s just not me but I do like it. I changed it to a square card. For the size of the tree I needed the card to be bigger in that direction. For the tree, I used reinkers (Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Ruby Red) and Aqua painters. For the outside edge I left the nestabilities template on and used a small dauber with Soft Suede ink.
I hope to post a couple more today…but we’ll see if I can get to it. My daughter and grandaughters are still here.
Here’s what was used:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree
Paper: Autumn Traditions, Always Artichoke, Confetti White, Soft Suede, Ruby Red,
Ink: Soft Suede,
Accessories, Bone Folder (distressing), More Mustard buttons, Natural Hemp, Mat Pack/Paper Piercer, Nestabilities, Aqua Painter, Reinkers, Sponge Dauber,

I love the fall colors! Some of my favorite. Nice tip about leaving the Nestabilities on to do the sponging. Thanks!
