tree...

i know, boring title. but i couldn't think of a better one! this set of atcs is has a lot going on with it. it's monday, so that means h{ippity} hop! i used {ippity} stamps on this so i could use it for the hop. it's also for a swap i'm in with an embossing theme. i used two types of embossing, heat and dry. i used a cuttlebug embossing folder and the big shot. then i heat embossed the tree limbs on the tree. the colors i picked were for kerry's color challenge. and the kicker, i used the stamps that are part of the fishy philosophy set that are meant to be coral. instead i made them into flowers and tree limbs! don't forget to start at the beginning of the h{ippity} hop to see everyone's creations. also, new {ippity} stamps come out on august 12th!!
