Day 4 Challenge

Day 4 and it is to use your oldest stamp set which is still current.  I only separate my newest stamp sets, as all the rest are stored alphabetically, but I think one of my oldest still current sets must be Sheltering Tree.  I have to admit to never using it as a tree - instead, I use the outline of the branches to stamp over a sponged leaf shape, to appear as if it is veins of the leaf.  I saw this ages ago on Pinterest and always use it for Gratitude sentiments ever since.

The inks I used for spongeing are:  Lemon Lime Twist, Calypso Coral, Wisteria and Berry Burst.  I stamped over with the tree outline using Archival Black ink.

I've cut the square to fit inside a 10 x 10cm square top fold card.
