*My Favourite Instagram Hop*

 This week for the My Favourite Instagram Hop, we are playing with our favourite tree themed items.  I will admit that this is not my favourite tree themed item from my stash, but the ideas I had for my favourite tree stamp weren't working out for me.  Instead I pulled out this stencil to create a simple sympathy card.

*Time Out Challenges #247*

It's time for a photo inspiration challenge at Time Out Challenges... you can be inspired by any part of the photo, but we ask that you share with us how your creations was inspired by our photo.  It can be layout, colours, theme...  whatever makes your heart react to this photo!

I was inspired by the fall colours, the trees in the background and the feeling of being on an adventure....  I started out doing some ink blending to create my front panel.  I added the trees by working with a stencil and a grey ink on top of my background.
