I started with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of thick white cardstock, and sponged on 4 or 5 different yellows to reds distress inks, then cut my branches and constructed them just as I've done before. After they were threaded onto a wood skewer, I inserted it into a wood slice as a base. It stands about 7" tall, and is now in my kitchen making a bright splash of color for the season!
