Hello. It’s time for another sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

I decided to try something a little different for me…I used pattern paper as the base. I thought it fit in with the tree image quite nicely. This stamp set is called Tree-MEN-dous, but I love making it feminine by adding flowers! Oh how I long for spring…I am so sick of winter!
