I started with a Chocolate Chip card base and layered it with Kiwi Kiss. The next element is a piece of craft store paper that has ALL of the challenge colors in it and was a no-brainer, LOL. That's layered on Really Rust. The next element is So Saffron layered on Chocolate Chip, accented with a couple of copper brads, and is up on dimensionals. The focal image was stamped on water color paper with a stamp from Lovely As a Tree with Chocolate chip and the trunk colored with a marker and my wonderful blender pen. (Yes, again. I love it!) I added a few branches with my marker. Then I stippled the leaves on with a stiff flat artist's brush (since I don't have a stipple brush--yet) with Kiwi Kiss, So Saffron, and Really Rust and added "leaves" on the ground the same way. I think it looks VERY realistic and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. That was cut/embossed with a Nestabilites die as was the Really Rust mat and is up on dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Harvest Home on Kiwi Kiss with Chocolate Chip and cut out with a Nestabilities tag die. It was sponged with Chocolate Chip and is up on dimensionals, as well.
