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.

These images are so cute, Heather and the background is wonderful.
The background is stunning Heather - the colouring gives it such depth. Cute images too! Thanks for taking part again, Seona @ Craftaway-a-Sunday
This is one of my favourite stamps too -- I LOVE what you've done with it!
You have to love those Paper Whimsy kids!!!! Food colouring? On watercolour paper?!? This I am going to try!!! I love that you think outside the box (and outside the kitchen too!!!).
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!!
They really have the most adorable faces :) You can almost imagine them growing up a little and swinging from the branches of that tree..as boys do :)
