Technique Time Tuesday Meets Less Is More

There's a great new technique at Technique Time Tuesday called Smackin' Acetate. I wanted to do something other than flowers so I've combined it with this weeks challenge at Less Is More which is to use this picture for inspiration



For my card I've followed the video tutorial at TTT and used some Stampin Up markers (So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake & Soft Suede) on acetate, spritzed it with water and laid onto my card. I've then stamped the trees from Lovely As A Tree by Stampin Up with Timber Brown Stazon and matted it onto a scrap of brown card. The sentiment is by Personal Impressions stamped in Vintage Sepia Versafine.
I'm also entering this into Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground


A very simple card and I know I'll be using this technique a lot.
