I've been meaning to play more with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks and finally got a quick moment - The stamp is called Tree Tile from Rubber Soul and I embossed it with white ink and then randomly colored the tile with Distress Inks (Broken China, Peeled Paint, Aged Mahogany) using the foam tool by Inkssentials.
The colors are from the current
Play Date Cafe Challenge #56 and the layout is from
2Sketches4You #66.
I decided to layer onto kraft cardstock for fun and to really draw attention to the colors and the patterned papers.
The patterned papers are from Basic Grey and 7 Gypsies. Sentiment is from
A Muse. The boys and I successfully raked the backyard today - there are currently 33 bags stuffed full of leaves all along our curb. There are a few more leaves left but we ran out of bags!! We'll finish that up tomorrow - We can see grass again in the backyard and no more "dog surprises" hiding under the leaves for us to step on!! That was the worst part!! Blech!

very pretty! love the sponging!
Love your image with all three colors fading into each other. By the way, how do you get your challenge pictures to be side by side in your post? I've tried it and it didn't work out the way I tried it.
LOVE that tree image with those beautiful colors together--and the strips on the front look FABBY! Thanks so much for playing along with us and joining in the fun over at the PDCC!! We love and appreciate our players;}
