Tree of Dreams


 The September Challenge at We Love Stamping begins today, 
the theme for September, chosen by Emma is 
Trees and Leaves 
or Anything Goes.

 


2 prizes, $30 store voucher from Taylored Expressions and Penny Black stamp set and stencil from Buddly Crafts (photo's not to scale).

My first thought was to make something with autumn leaves and colours but looking through my Lavinia stamps I came across this beautiful tree stamp and this is what evolved. 
I stamped the tree, Annie and Edward with black Versafine Clair ink onto a square of white card, then stamped and white embossed the stars around the branches. Scattered Straw an Dusty Concord  distress inks blended over the top. The Winter Magic words stamped several times around the edge and a couple of snowflake stickers (which might have been a mistake!) 
There's lots to see over at We Love Stamping, beautiful inspiration makes from all the lovely ladies, and full details of how to play along with our challenges.
Thank you for visiting

    Gorgeous Chris, such a clever idea using the stars on the Lavinia tree, works very well.
