I created the background by first sprinkling some Leaf Green Brushos onto some damp watercolour card, and allowed to dry. I then sprayed it with Tattered Angels Dazzling Diamonds shimmer spray.
Then I stamped the cup rings from Clarity Stamps Journaling set in Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles distress ink. Then I randomly stamped the script also from Clarity Stamps in Crushed Olive distress ink.
For the stencilling, I used a That's Crafty Stencil, Distressed Harlequin, and some Cosmic Shimmer paste in Champagne Gold, and set aside to dry. The tree is a Cheery Lynn die, and came with little woodland creatures, which I have also used here, they were too cute to throw away! I cut them with a sticky backed piece of cork, and adhered directly to the card. To finish off I stamped the sentiments from Jofy Stamp Set 11 in Pine Needles, and added some liquid pearls in Peacock green dotted around the card and on the little critters eyes.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
That's Crafty - Stencils
More Mixed Media Challenge - Green
The Mixed Media Card Challenge - Trees with added option birds - I have an owl in the tree.

What a wonderful combination of challenges! I love all your layers and the gold looks fantastic against the green. The squirrels are so cute - wish we had them in Australia instead of Possums! Thanks so much for joining us at the mixed media card challenge!
I have so much admiration for crafters who can do mixed media. And when it is done as well as this I have even more respect. The texture, color, sentiments, watercolor is all done so perfectly! Everything blends into such a pretty composition.. So, so, so pretty.. It has been a pleasure to see you here at MMM and thank you for your talent and joining us.
