Some Trees, a Snowflake and a Flower

 These are cards from one of my classes this past week.

This first card was inspired by a card on Pinterest.  Joyful Creations with Kim did this with masking.  I cut a panel and stamped it and then sponged.  There was no masking involved.  Then I attached the panel to my card front.  I LOVE it.  So easy and such a wonderful look.

Card stock:  Naturals Ivory
Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke, Pool Party, River Rock
Accessories:  Sponges, Early Espresso Marker
I inked the tree in Lucky Limeade, markered the trunk and then rocked a bit in the Always Artichoke.  Stamped the image and then stamped again and again.  Reinked and did the same.  Then I sponged the bottom in the Lucky Limeade and some in the middle.  Sponged River Rock in the middle into the top and the top with Pool Party. 

A sparkly thank you that could also be a Christmas card!  This is shimmery and beautiful in real life.
