Gathered blooms again

Hi Everyone! here is the second card in my gathered bloom series. I began this series with a straight up use of the stamp.

No I am going to move into other ways we can use this stamp. I have learned to look at my stamps- well for a lack of a better word- OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!! This way I can get the most use out of them.

Today, I die cut the cosenza tree border background. I then stamped the gathered blooms on each tree and colored them in autumnal colors with my copic markers. Each of the tree dies adhered back into the cardstock they were cut from with foam tape for a popped look.

When I look at this card, I see the view from my studio window of all the leaves changing colors and am reminded that Thanksgiving is just a week or so away!

Hope you enjoyed this "outside the box" use of gathered blooms. stay tune for my last installment- where I get really crazy!!!
