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!

    No wonder it's your favorite so far, and your mother must have been blown away by it.

    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!
