Now I must have more than 20 stamps of leaves, trees and quotes in one form or another so choosing is a bit difficult. Decided to go with this tree stamp by Lavinia. Don't have many of their stamps as I think they are a bit pricey for clear stamps but I liked the simplicity of this one and it is almost, but not quite, bare of leaves - or it was before I got the inks out.
Stamped in Adirondack Hazelnut and then 'dotted' the leaves on in a variety of Cranberry, Currant, Butterscotch, Red Pepper and Meadow, it's not exactly on a par with Georges Seurat but I like the effect and it kept me away from cyber shopping for the afternoon. The faux deckle edge was done with a fine brown marker and the sentiment is from a set by Personal Impressions.

This is a perfect card. Thank you for sharing.
Really lovely Ann
I think it would look equally as good without the edging, if you don;t mind me saying
Super card nevertheless

Oh Ann, I do love those tree stamps you use. Must be something about where you live!! My stamps are so primary looking. Guess I need to carve my own.
What a super tree with all those autumn leaves! Gorgeous card. x
