Trees


I created this just playing around with stamps, acrylic paint and glass bead gel.  I haven't made it into anything yet, though it will probably end up as a tag or on a canvas.   I stamped the tree branches by Tim holtz in several places, then painted over the branches and added leaves using Americana Craft paints.  The flowers at the bottom are also a Tim Holtz stamp. I sponged the background with Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Tea Dye & Tumbled Glass and Victorian Velvet.  I also stamped a few ink splatters here and there, and painted on some pink and red flowers at the bottom.  Finally, I added glass bead gel to create texture on the trees, unfortunately the scanner does not pick up the effect very well.
