I found this older tree stamp from Stamp Oasis (Rubbernecker used to sell them) in my 'tree' drawer and I just had to ink it up - but I decided to do a watercolor technique of coloring the stamp with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (I used a light green, a dark green and a brown), spritzing the stamp with water and then pressing the stamp onto watercolor paper - and this is what happened!
TOTALLY love how it came out! I die cut the panel and the card base using Noted: Scalloped A2 dies from PTI. I stamped the Proverb from an old Stampendous set called Inspired Verses using Wendy Vecchi Archival Orange Blossom Ink.
To balance off the card design - I added 2 mint green enamel dots in the left corner.
(I know, I didn't follow the rule of 3, but there really wasn't room for 3 and I only had 2 dots this size!)
I'm linking my card to:

This is absolutely lovely! It is serene - makes me want to BE there! Of course, I'll wait until after Hurricane season is over.
Excellent work, Julia!
I love the texture you achieved by marker coloring and stamping your tree on watercolor paper, Julia. Your die cut framing and sentiment are beautiful too. TFS Hugs..

Oh, I wish this would happen when I use this technique, Julia! You got the perfect amount of color and water! What a beautiful and stately tree! And one of my favorite scripture messages!
Very pretty watercolored tree and I love the scripture verse too. TFS
Your tree turned out beautifully with this technique Julia. So artsy and gorgeous! I think the two candy dots are a perfect balance. xx
Beautifully done! Love the snowy tree and the scalloped edges.
What a stunner! I love that stamp and the way you've coloured it! The scalloped border is so elegant.

You're on a roll, Julia! Another beautiful stamped image using markers! The tree is so lovely and I love the visual texture created by the perfect amount of water (?). The scalloped framing is pretty too!
