Grow Love 

I stamped my trees (from the new Grow Love set) onto Natural cardstock, using an Eclipse Masking Panel to mask the center tree.  I then colored the tops of my trees with an olive pearlescent watercolor.  Just before the ink was dry, I added in a bit of copper, focusing most of the copper on the right sides of each tree.  The shimmer is a bit more visible in the photo below.

Once the inks were dry, I colored the trunks and branches with a brown Copic (E57) and added a bit of shading with gray (W00, W1).  I cut out the trees as one piece and adhered them to the lined patterned paper.

Be sure to check out Jody’s tutorial (here) on different ways to use the Pearlescent watercolors.  She has some great ideas!!
