On a 2.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock brayered Apricot Appeal ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered Lovely Lilac ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Apricot Appeal ink entirely.
Stamped the tree with Basic Black ink.
Stamped the leaf stamp with Going Gray ink, leaving the middle of the tree open.
Added a lot of Basic Black leaves, leaving a bit of the Going Gray leaves showing towards the middle of the tree.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the top of the card stock and at the bottom of the card stock.
Added White Gel Pen highlights (dots) in the trees leaves and on the ground.
Used my Big Shot Die cut machine and the Stampin’ Up Small Dot Texture plate on a piece of Lavender Lace card stock and the other side of the Texture plate, Large Dots on the Apricot Appeal Panel.
Brayered Apricot Appeal ink over the Apricot Appeal Panel to bring out the texture more.
Brayered Lovely Lilac ink over the Lavender Lace panel to bring out the texture more.
Dragged my Basic Black ink pad over one end of the Lavender Lace Lilac panel.
Assembled the card and added White Ribbon and brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be super special.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Huge Hugs,

This is awsome! I love the colors and I think the picture looks easy enough for me to give it a try.
I agree with you, LOVE this stamp set! Awesome color choices here too. Thanks once again!
Amazing contrast from yesterdays card. Too completely different looks with the same stamp. Love the black/purple contrast with the tree top and also the white dots along the bottom of the tree. Great touch.
STUNNING colours, love the dots, and the dramatic effect of the black. Beautiful card, Michelle.
