Thanks! I love taking an idea and try colour variations ad infinitum (or ad nauseam, that depends). That's why I fell in love with that tree stamp in the first place, it looked so versatile.

I'm a perfectionist by nature, but with age I got much more relaxed about things. The beauty of handmade is very often in imperfection. Oh the wisdom of age. One of those dark blue ones is totally horribly stamped, but I let it be because it kinda looks artistic. We can always pretend it was heavily snowing on that card and that's why we can't see everything. :-)
