I decided to go whimsical this week! I couldn't wait to ink up one of my newest stamps from Taylored Expressions - Up a Tree. How adorable! It just so happens that one of our grandsons has a birthday coming up and he's definitely an outdoors-type of guy. He'll really love this!

I colored my tree canopy with Copic markers and then, using a negative mask, overstamped it with an old (retired) background stamp. I love the way it turned out! It's very similar to the patterned flowers in the inspiration photo.
I also used the Cloudy Days Background stamp and a sentiment from the new Adventure Land set as well.
My layout is from the latest and greatest retrosketches#29:

Thanks for stopping by!
A treehouse! I'm excited to find out about this set.
I really like how you colored it, too, and the stamps in the leaves are an awesome touch.
