For Your Inspiration #46

You gotta love this inspiration picture from the For Your Inspiration challenge!  I love Aspen. Last May I was lucky to be in New Mexico where they have some really large aspen forests. Such beautiful trees!


So here is my take on the challenge. I saw different colors converging in the center. I don't have any aspen trees as stamps, but the bamboo stamp from Poppy stamps did the job...



I sponged the background. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.

And here are two of my Aspen pictures:





Aren't those trees gorgeous?
