Peace & Joy

 I was in the mood for trees when I did this card a couple of days ago, and I was in the mood for some different colours for my background. 

I have had this stamp set for a long time and have never used it before, and it has since been discontinued, but any tree can be used for this technique. I have linked a few that I think would be great below.

I first did the background watercolouring with Daniel Smith watercolours in Phtahlo Green and Phtahlo Turquoise along with Sap Green. In my Misti and moving my paper, not my stamp, I then layered the tree and stamped using masking paper, using Ranger Library Green and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough.  

 I then stamped the sentiment using Ranger Jet Black ink, and die cut the panel with my stitched rectangle die, matting with a dark aqua cardstock, then attaching to my card base.  

To finish I stamped a few snowflakes and splattered with white acrylic paint.
