From Little Acorns...

Another 2 stamps from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set by Stampin Up, I used one (the leaf) to make a background and the other ( the oak tree) as a main focal point.
A bit of matting and layering some patterned paper a ribbon and a couple of brads to finish the card.


Attention to detail...

After stamping the image with a water based inks, I took a damp paint brush and lightly blended the tree and shadow underneath it. It gives the impression of a watercolour painting.



Talking of little acorns Lauren stopped by with Jack, he was 3 weeks old on Thursday.
Jack was weighed and he is now 9Lb 11oz he's a Hungry Horace and loves his tucker.
Grandad took him out for a walk and on his way back he popped to the cemetery and introduced young Jack to my Dad Great Grandad Jack, I thought that was so sweet of him.
He said he was talking away to them both much to a ladies amazement who was there visiting a loved one.

Jack is adorable Jak, no wonder you are all besotted with him. How lovely of Chris to take him to chat to his GGD. Love his mop of hair he is going to break some hearts when he gets a bit older no doubt.
