Just us Girls #289 I added the Green and I hope I'm forgiven for adding just a hint of yellow for the three flowers.
Shopping our Stash #198 they wanted us to add texture and do so by using something from our oldest embossing stash. Do you remember the old light table - that's how we dry embossed years ago. I can even remember when I had no light table and would tape everything on the window so the light source would be behind what I was doing. Course I could never do that real early or late in the evening when the sun wasn't up and come to think of it it was hard to do on rainy cloudy days also, which was the best time to stamp when living on a working farm and raising 4 active boys!!! I used part of an old plastic stencil and then added a little color to the fence with my finger and ink... did your parents ever tell you: fingers where made before forks? Well I say it different when in my craft room.... Fingers were made before sponges!! ha ha I wanted to get the brown on only the fence and a sponge was to big so alas I used my finger.
The old with the plastic stencil embossed with an old light table and the new are some Impression Obsession dies. I used a small piece of designer paper from Stampin' Up to add another pop of green. I believe that is it, what do you think? I hope you have a good day and stop by the two challenge sites and be inspired to add one of your own.
Not sure what is going go with no photo, but it links so that is good. Great tree! Thanks for joining in at JUGS!

I never had a light box so I HAD to use a window as a light source! LOL! This is a wonderful card! Thanks for joining in the fun at both Just Us Girls and Shopping Our Stash! (Yep, it's a two-for comment!)

Love that old stencil and a fab. job you did with it. I don't have a light table as my daughter took her's with her. Hubby made one with an old school desk and an acrylic top and a light. Great dies and an awesome scene. thanks for playing along with Shopping Our Stash for the Texture me challenge.
