Hello Friends,
Yesterday I showed you a set of stickers my son surprised me with - just because. I made a round easel card with one of the owl stickers in the set. Next I used the tree sticker to make a card.
I really liked the form of the tree, but I didn't care for its dead state. It needed some colour in my opinion AND some leaves.
I used Gelatos on watercolor paper for my background, markers on the trunk & branches; then added foliage with acrylic paints.
A friend recently warned me that Gelatos could be addictive. Too late, NC. I'm hooked now. :)
Thanks for visiting me today. I hope I have inspired you in some way.
Blessing hugs,
Teresa

This tree put me in mind of a favorite scripture, which is perfect for the recipient.
