'In The Meadow'- a great guy card!

This is another one of the cards that I designed for my 'All Occasions' Card Classes.  

Check out the leaves on this tree!  How did I do them?

• I used a pencil eraser!! (Make sure you use a brand new pencil eraser so that it is perfectly round & clean.)
• I used the pencil eraser just like it was a stamp.  I inked it up by putting it into my Garden Green ink pad.
• And then pushed it onto the card stock/over the tree branches to make the leaves!!  
• I stamped with the inked eraser 3-4 times (shadow stamping) to get the darker to lighter shades of the Garden Green.

So what do you think?  Isn't it a great guy card!  I thought it could be used for many different occasions.

Here are the supplies & the measurements that I used to make this card-
stamp sets:  'In the Meadow' & 'Wetlands'
card stock: 

• Early Espresso- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2", 2 1/2" strip, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2"

• Whisper White- 2" strip, 3 1/4 x 2 1/4", 4 x 5 1/4" (for the inside of the card)

ink:  Garden Green & Chocolate Chip

And a NEW (never used) Pencil (to use the eraser to make the dots for the leaves)
