Autumn Tree

Hello All!
Wow, can you believe we are half way into September already?
It just amazes me that our days/weeks/months seem to fly by.

But, that also means it is time for a new challenge at Double D.
Team Darlene is hosting this time and the theme is
'TREES'
and the mood board below to get you going!

One of the fun things of being on the Double D team
is that we have an option to join in
each and every challenge if we choose to.
Of course  I always love to join in!

There were lots of options to go with this,
but in the end I pulled out one of my older SU
stamp set (prior to 2013) and went with that!

I first stamped the tree, then started building
my 'fall' leaves around it.

I added a few strands of hemp cord
and a few die cut squirrels.

I sponged a bit of ink around the tree, then stamped my sentiment .

Once done, I came back and 'painted' on a bit of glitter.

Make sure and pop on over to the
Double D challenge blog and see what the Design Team
has to get YOU inspired!
There is a fabulous prize being offered to one lucky random winner as well!
