Still playing with new toys!

This is another image/die from the Hero Arts / Sizzix combo, which I recently purchased. This has been inked in the same way as the apples in my last post, using the same Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss Distress inks.This is just a simple tree with no design or texture on it so would is perfect for treatment such as the kissing technique... I must try that next.
The sentiment is from SU's Basic Phrases. I cut pieces of acetate from crafty packaging into rectangles, and stamped them with each of the stamps. I keep these in the box with the stamps to use with my Lego positioner. Each stamp is a separate word which obviously needs to be aligned with another, to make each sentiment. It saves me having to stamp a piece of acetate each time I use the stamps.
I used the sketch from Clean and Simple!

  7. These trees would be perfect for the kissing technique. They're perfectly stamped now. Love the idea of stamping the words on acetate to keep. Finally, a great use for acetate!
