Tree of Love

For this wedding card I wanted to go gender-neutral, modern and yet traditional at the same time for a couple who are getting married next week. 

I spattered a variety of Distress Inks in the general shape of a tree top, used a bit of ink and clear water to create the idea of leaves then added a few limbs and the trunk.  The sentiment I stamped in two shades of Memento.  I then mounted the image on a pale gray cardstock and mounted that on a darker gray-green A7 cardstock which is a style of photo matting that I love.

The Details:  Tim Holtz Distress Inks and watercolor paper, PTI Soft Stone cardstock and Mighty Oak sentiment, Memento Rich Cocoa and Love Letter, Stampin' Up Versatile Verses sentiment inside, Bazzill Basics Rock Candy cardstock

I'm entering this in Allsorts #270 Favorite Things (watercolor!!!)Time Out #11 Celebrations, AAA #14 Watercolors
