Here's my creation: (or shall I say creations)
The stamp is from Woodware.
The stencils are Dreamweaver LJ 867 and LX 7002.
The tree is easy to see. On the first one, I just sprayed through the opening. On the second and last cards, I sprayed the stencil first and ran it through my die cut machine with the Rubber Embossing Mat. It worked like a letterpress. The third card used both of those techniques, first being run through the machine and then being sprayed through the opening.
You say you can't see where I used the Plaid stencil? Well, I embossed a piece of white velvet paper through the die cut machine with the stencil and the Rubber Embossing Mat and used it on the second and third cards. Here is a closer look:
I used the Memory Mists in Strawberry Daiquiri and Wheatgrass. The Archival Inks are Black and Olive. I stamped the image first before making the letterpress effect. The stickles are gold, silver, diamond, eucalyptus and mystery. The crayons added a little extra color here and there.
So there you have it, one card four ways....

These are so cool! I always try to match the cards that I send to the personalities of the recipients. These would be perfect for this! Some simple, some traditional, some blingy, some bright...and all of them fun!
