O, Pumpkin Tree

We're moving right along to week three of MPC1215 - Season of Giving!  I can't believe how fast the time is running!
This week, I decided to try something inspired by a really cute pic I saw by Rachel Tessman of Stamp Your Art Out.  I'm still on a green kick, and somehow I'm finding I have a TON of the holly stems left in my kits still.  How to use up a bunch of extras in one go?  Make a tree!  I snipped off an entire sheet of holly leaves, added a bit of curl with my bone folder, and tacked them down in rows in a tree shape.  I added some pearls and an Iced Rhinestone for the topper, and then, bwahaha, I found a little stash of Fantast/x Champagne Mist Ink (remember that stuff, anyone?) that I brushed all over.  (I also used it to stencil some holly on the envelope.)  It's so funny, I did side-by-side samples with my new Wink of Stella pens, and they are almost identical!  I opted for the ink on this card so I could both use it up, and get more coverage with a dauber, but I can't wait to try my Wink of Stella next!
Don't forget to show off your work over at the blog - we can't wait to see!
