Visible Image "Reason To Smile" Tag

In these mad, mad days "Be The Reason Somebody Smiles".  That's the Visible Image sentiment I have heat embossed on this tag using their "Reason To Smile" stamp with Wow! clear embossing powder over Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

I created the background using the Visible Image "The Forest" stencil with two shades of blue Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Broken China) to create the sky through the woods.  Once the stencil was lifted, I painted the trees, using brown and green shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tea Dye, Brushed Corduroy and Peeled Paint) applied with a paint brush.
