I placed this oldie but goody tree from Stampin' Up! in my MISTI
and colored it up with Markers before stamping.
The leaves are so small that I barely touched them with a damp waterbrush.
Then I did a light wash for the background.
I'm so ready for Fall!
I see signs of color in the trees but not too much.
And it's still hot and humid.
Good weather to stay inside and play!
This card does double duty.

Beautiful card, Bonnie. I love the delicate background behind the lovely stamped image. xx
This design and layout is perfect for a masculine card, Bonnie, I am going to remember this because I have trouble with masculine cards! I love the soft water colored look!
I love how you gave this old SU stamp set such a new trendy look with your watercolor marker stamped technique, watercolor wash and CAS framing. This set is still my favorite for sympathy cards. TFS my friend. Hugs..
Gorgeous sympathy card Bonnie. Love the beautiful tree and soft watercolour wash background.
I heard on the news tonight that Hurricane Florence is heading towards the Carolinas. Stay safe!! xx
This is gorgeous,such a lovely stamp.xxx
A wonderful card Bonnie - love how you ahve coloured it, and the light wash in the background is enough
Blessings

Love the lone stamped tree, which is so very beautiful and delicate. Perfect card for the sad occasion.
Autumn has arrived in Scotland and on the days it doesn't rain and is very windy (on the West coast) it can be glorious and I too love the changing colours of the trees x.
Hello from a scrapper who still is somewhat of a newbie. I love your pretty work.
Beautiful card Bonnie! I love that SU! tree image and you inked and watered it up beautifully...lovely, lovely card my friend! We are finally getting some cooler weather up here in Michigan, so I'll see if I can send some down your way!! :0)
Blogger is giving me issues with commenting today Bonnie, so you might get two comments from me. Hard to say! I love this beautiful card! The tree is so beautiful all decked out in it's fall leaves color. The washed sky is just so calming. Put it all together and you got one beautiful, peaceful, calming and serene sympathy card my friend! Hugs, Brenda
Simply beautiful, .Bonnie. Perfect image and colours for a sympathy card. xx
I love the watery look you achieved on this, Bonnie and the soft wash is fantastic! Your fall colors are beautiful. This does make a perfect sympathy card.
Wow...this is one of my all time fave SU sets from long a go. I have always colored the tree in green...and now, hot dog, I have your idea to do it in fall orange. Your card looks so good with that Misti technique, vibrant leaf color and soft background wash. Here's to a fabulous fall!
What a lovely little tree Bonnie - perfect for this sympathy card - love the white embossed sentiment on the black!
Such a beautiful Fall card in the oranges, yellows, golds, Bonnie. Lovely, and hope you have a great week.
Great use of a wonderful older stamp! Beautiful autumn colours for the leaves, and a perfect wash for the background - I especially love the way you did the sun looking like a large smudge rather than a strong yellow circle.
Never would have thought to use this tree with markers and water - it looks fantastic!
Beautiful fall tree with the soft background. It makes a wonderful sympathy card. Stay safe when the rains come.
Lovely sympathy card. I like the layout and the tree image you used. Have a wonderful week. TFS
I love the soft misty look to this Bonnie... Beautiful card!
Your tree is so lovely and delicate, and I love the soft wash of the background - especially the impression of the sun. I would end up with a yellow green sun! ;-P The card is full of warmth and perfect for the occasion.

A sweet autumn setting, which goes well with the sentiment. A delicate stamp with the perfect subtle background. Love it when the leaves turn into a kaleidoscope of colour. So well reflected in this card. Beautiful xx
Oooh! I've used this tree too .... I love it. I love your card too, the tree looks so pretty watercolured. I can't wait for Autumn, it's my favourite season. xx
