Trees in Bud

The Stephanie's Secret Sister Swap topic was "Trees in Bud".  So what do you do when the only stamp that fits the topic in your 3000+ stamp collection is 1"x1"?  Well, you stamp second and third generations to stretch that tree out to be a grove. :)  It was my solution to a difficult weekly topic. I used two shades of green Flower Soft on some of the background trees and a clear gel pen was used to go over the originally stamped and colored tree to give it a little dimension.

  3. Ah, see, I knew you'd find something that would work in your "stamp stash" -- great adaptation to the theme, girlfriend! And, as always, I'm jealous of your great bow-tying !!!

  4. That is so cute! I think you did a great job with the one stamp! I love the paper, and wish I could tie a bow like that! How in the world do you do them so neat?
