I knew the second I viewed this photo, that I wanted to try to replicate the Christmas tree. I think I succeeded by stamping the pine tree branches repeatedly, some without reinking for a lighter color:
I also used the smallest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut my ornament shapes. I love how the stitched lines show up so well on the designer paper:
