I hope you’ve recovered from your holidays. I’m trying to get back in the swing of things. I don’t know if I’ll ever be happy about going back to work though!

I love this cute little Moose at Moonrise image. I felt like water coloring this one in order to get a good mix of colors.

Are the colors bright enough for you? I sponged the watercolor paper edges with Distress antique linen after distressing them to tone down the white.

I stamped the small branch from the Pine Sprig set in the bottom right corner of the kiwi cardstock and used a craft knife to trim around the top edges of it. After stamping the sprig all over the kiwi piece, I slid the watercolored image behind the cut sprigs. I used a jumbo eyelet to attach these pieces as well as some punched Martha Stewart branches.

The tangerine cardstock is stamped all over with the Mesh background stamp and sewn randomly along the bottom.

Have a great day! Don’t forget to play along in the FINAL TREASURE HUNT!

Hey Broni:

I just love this card - the colors are outstanding and I like the sprigs (very different). I hope you have a great day - I’m heading over the Rubbernecker now to take a gander at the excitement you’ve mentioned.
