Spring images

The Craft Barn weekly challenge asks for retiform stamping (luckily they also provide a tutorial for it!). New things are worth a try, and to make it easier for myself I chose to keep it small and made an ATC.

I started of by masking the areas and using an ink blending tool to define them with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. All the images are from Chocolate Baroque spring sets, I did some second generation stamping and added white with a Sharpie pen afterwards. The technique was fun and easy enough, but looking at this I realize some more experience would be needed to really be able to plan what part of the stamp ends up visible in the wanted area in stead of just hoping it will look ok. The placing of the branches in the top area bugs me most, but better luck (or experience) next time!
