The tree is from a Stampin' Up! set. I used my MISTI to stamp it. (Love the MISTI. I got it Memorial Day weekend, but I guess I've never mentioned it on my blog.) I used the MISTI because I first stamped it in Old Olive green ink. Then I colored the trunks with brown and stamped it again. Then I tried a technique on it which didn't work so well, but it still looks nice. I tried "swirling" a darker green on the leafy areas. It works well for more solid images, but I thought I'd give it a try on this tree. I'll have to try again with a different stamp. I stamped the sentiment (from Hero Arts) with the same brown marker. I also matted the panel with brown cardstock.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I love your CAS style Lynette. This is great! Judy x
Like your card Lynette, - interested to hear you also invested in Misti - have bought myself one (early Christmas pressie) but of course haven't tried it yet - thanks for prompting me to get it and give it a try!

What a beautiful card, Lynette - I love your tree. I have no idea what a Misti is!!
Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment. My first appointment in this current batch went well - the pre-assessment for my procedure next week - and although I crashed after overdoing things this week, today I was able to cook my first evening meal and it was a great success! I am gradually getting back into some sort of routine, and hope to be back in the studio again soon, as part of my daily routine!

Love the tree stamp! Makes a lovely sympathy card and it is always good to have some on hand. I've been wondering about the MISTI. Keep hearing about it. Guess I should watch a video. I've heard it's much easier to use than other stamp positioners. I still use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.
I wouldn't have ever thought to use the stamp for a sympathy card or to color it since it is a part of a "silhouette" set. Great idea to use the MISTI for stamp it. I'm going to have to try that since I haven't used mine often enough. Too many wood mounted stamps in my collection yet.
