Thanks everyone for your comments on the tutorial and the cards. 'theshyone' asked the question and it was just a spur of the moment 'let's see if I can do this' thing. And it was fun! Thanks for takin' the time!

Beautiful card...love the colors and the sentiment describes the emotion of the card. Lovely work.

Beautiful card. The blue sky background finishes it off and the choice of the script word peace suits the feeling so well.

NewfCathy asked, "How did you put the blue sky there?" The sky was added after the fact using a sponge applicator and Ranger distress ink in China blue.
The ink was applied to the craft sheet, picked up with the corner of the sponge and applied to the area surrounding the tree tops in light pressure, circular motions.
