Autumn Tree with Life is Beautiful
Today we moved Megan's stuff back up to La Crosse. The van was full. Her bedroom is pretty well set up, with a few things that she still have to bring up. Hopefully the rest she can bring up herself. Going up is never the problem. Coming home is. It seems like we always get into some kind of traffic. Today was no different. Supposedly there was an accident, but we never saw any evidence of one. It slowed us down an extra half hour. Ugghhh.
I was hesitant to purchase the Life is Beautiful stamp set. When Sheltering Tree was out, I loved it. So, why not this one too?
When I'm making a tree with autumn leaves, I immediately think baby wipe technique. Take a alcohol free baby wipe and wet it with drops from the re-inkers. Use this as your stamp pad. You can stamp several times using one wipe. If you are doing quite a few, you will have to repeat this step several times.
Don't forget to stamp some leaves on the inside!
TIP: When stamping the tree, use the Stamparatus! It's such a large stamp, you never know if the first stamp will be good. In fact, mine wasn't. So, I was very glad to have used it.
The bottom seemed too plain, even with the leaves. So, I sponged some Old Olive there. It kind of brought the card together.
