Tree Collage

Here is a collage I made my mom for Mothers Day this year. I really love doing this type of project. I have done another one that is smaller and has birds and leaves on it. I am planning one with a peacock theme. I used just about every Tim Holtz technique I could think of - distress inks, alcohol inks, distress embossing -I had so much fun playing around when making this.
Thanks for looking!

    Wow! This is a stunning piece, and I just LOVE the colors you've chosen.
    No wonder it's your favorite so far, and your mother must have been blown away by it.

    This is really cool, Karla! You need to enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week, it's all about Tim Holtz!

    This is really spectacular!!! I bet you Mom just loves it! I do have a question for you - how did you do the tree in the circle in the upper right hand corner? Thanks for sharing (BTW - I am visiting from ATT)

    Wow, this is beautiful! What a stunning piece of art!

    I love all of the techniques and color schemes you used. I wish I could see it in person so that I could touch it,and study it, and use some of these awesome techniques on one of my own projects!
