Sunday Stampers - Alphabet, Craftaway a Sunday - Cute

I decided to combine two challenges with this card. The stamp is one of my favourites from Paperbag Studio. It has a haunting feel to it and reminds me of ancestory, family trees and the places family live together so I added PaperWhimsy photos to the houses on the branches and the bottom. I envision these three cuties as brothers who will grow up together. The background is created with food colouring on watercolour paper if you can believe it! This is my entry for both Sunday Stampers with an "Alphabet" theme and Craftaway a Sunday with a "Cute" theme.

I would have to dig deep to find food coloring in my kitchen...it hasn't been used in so long. What wonderful results you achieved! Definitely cute!!
