Tree Print with a Twist

I am going to be honest with you. Originally this was not meant to be a print at all. I had bought some pigment ink (which turns out to be awesome for decal on clothes if you are careful if you go with the good quality stuff), and I wanted to see if I could ink my shirt with a design cut out on card stock from my Silhouette.

So I embarked on my little quest. Much to my chagrin, when all was said and cut out (and it was awesome!), it was too thin for me to effectively use it as a stencil. A complete my-bad moment. But I had one excellent tree cut and ink. What was I supposed to do? Throw it out!?!

Instead, I pulled out the Mod Podge and another piece of card stock. I thought since the tree was a little bare, I should probably use a richer color. Then, it wasn't dark enough.

After coating the sheet in Mod Podge, I used one of my sponge brushes to spread the ink onto my canvas. Then I Mod Podged my tree to the page... Voila!

I was lucky. I actually love my creation, even if it was not what I originally intended, and I have every intention of framing it in a black frame when I get the chance.

How do you feel about my surprise? As always, I welcome comments!

Love y'all!
