A meadow in the woods: Direct to Paper

I used one of Michelle Zindorf's excellent tutorials to make this card in December. I had borrowed Kristin Kortonick's Charming stamp set (I think I mentioned it last month) and had just gotten Branch Out (did I mention how much I love this set??)

The day I sat down to make the card, however, I was kind of on the outs with my brayer (still am, come to that...) but wanted to make one of her cards, so this was perfect. All you do is use the corners and edges of your stamp pad to make the suggestion of shapes and landscape. The card, like Impressionist paintings, looks a bit better at a distance. I'm really pleased with how it came out and my New Year's Resolution (one of many) is to try more of Michelle's tutorials.
