Pretty simple and straightforward, although "you made my day" might be understating things a bit. ;) The oval was stamped after making a mask of the tree trunk. Then, after stamping the tree with black ink, I used dot stamps of various sizes with varying shades of green ink and dotted the tree for some color and added interest. The tag was stamped on the corners with the edge of the tree stamp and some green ink. A little ribbon, some unusual matting, and of course the bling, and that's all there is to it. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous weekend! :)
